Actually I thought it more like a weapon I saw at http://atkinson-swords.com/collectio...previous-photo which shows a Sabiki Dharia. It occurred to me that Ottoman style had a flat top pommel.

The URL above is incorrect. You can find the Sabiki Dharias listed in this page: http://atkinson-swords.com/collectio...an-penninsula/

A weird thought (I know shocking...

) but I was looking a those silver "fowers", and was wondering if there might have been a little Indian influence in this. The area of origin does trade with India...............
