Some more pics. Notice interesting rivets holding (horn?) grips, and very sturdy cross guard.

I think these are no rivets but some modern screws that need a special tool to turn them. These in combination with the gothik (German?) letter "G" let me think of the end of the 19th, beginning 20th century.

Thanks Corrado. Noted on the screws. It might have been unusual to produce a heavy fighting blade in this mamluke style at that late date.

As this may be a post-Egypt campaign European mamluke, maybe this thread should go to the European weapons section?
