The hilt has a Persian look to me, anyone else think so?

Hello, museum and auctions specialists sometimes go wrong. This one I think its ottoman,
if you look the thread named "turkish straight sword with european blade", a lot of interesting comments came out about hilt shape origin ( and straight blades too ). I made this new one for comments about the hallmarks/tughras when I received the sword and. "Zoom" the pictures... |

The sword shown from the Met has multiple early Ottoman features including the bow-tie shaped scabbard fitting, the fine detailed niello scrollwork, and the detailed floral shape where the crossguard inserts into the top fitting.
While I've seen that last feature on Persian shamshirs, the feature is itself more indicative of Ottoman influence on Persian arms than vice versa. |
