Trebizond arms with huge amount of corals?

[wolviex]

Hello All!

I just wanted to provoke a new discussion about parade weapons from todays Turkey territories - sabres, kinjals, firearms with hundreds of red corals and green and blue chalcedons set on scabbards, handles, stocks etc. in shape of rosettes,flowers, in rows and other geometrical configurations. I wonder about place of origin of these weapons. Here in Poland they are placed as from Trebizond - Turkish country on the coast of the Black Sea, in medieval times with his own rulers, then incorporated by Ottoman Empire. They're are probably from the first half of the 19th century, but it seems to me that some of these weapons might be even from the 2nd half of the 18th c. Next what bothering me is their rarity or non-rarity. I wonder how many of such objects we know from other museums, collections, auctions, and how are they noticed - as good and valuable or just as a hang-walls.

Regards!
