Question Sword for identification

Gents,
I will be glad to get your opinions about this sword. As I know it was found somewhere about city of Sudak (Crimean peninsula). It has straight (but bent) blade with two fullers.
The full lenght of the sword is 90 cm, width of the blade near crossguard is 3 cm.
Perhaps it has an oriental origin and its place in another section of the forum.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

It remembers me of Charlemagne sword at Aachen cathedral and other hunnic swords Hermann Historical tried to sell several times three-four years ago.

with the typical s-shape blade, ......I go for a hungarian sabre variation, 15thC ?

sorry optical illusion because the blade is bent it looks s-shaped. is the last 15cm or so (point) double edged?

I don't quite understand what you mean by "typical s-shape blade". As I said above, the blade is straight, but bent.

I wouldn't say that they are somewhat similar...
