If it is to criticise or discusse the details IMHO here they are:

The sword is uncharacteristically (but not impossibly ! ) flimsy for Eastearn European or Ottoman and would fall under the size specific to Indo-Persian notoriously thinner and smaller (that does not make them less lethal or their owners less of a man, alright )
The decoration has pronounced and obvious Islamic motifs, more or less the thugra and okir types, executed in a manner that remind me of a Pan-Caucasian manner (or Arabic, darn it , that be...) HEY, RIVKIN, any thoughts ?
I dont really think thats Polish, not even Ukrainian, Ruthenian or Cossack, maybe Tartar ?
ALL THAT IF THE SWORD IS LIKE HUSSARIA PERKUN says: ONE YEAR OLD ! than it really doesnt matter anymore ...
