Shamshir ID help needed

Handle and crossguard have the same type of design with leaves so seem to belong together. Certainly has an European feel to it.

No other input?

So probably an European mameluke military style sword. In this case a wild combination of shamshir and European design.

Handle also shows signs of long term use so would guess blade and handle belong together.
