Thank you gentlemen for your comments,

The blade can be european as Fernando suggests with what looks like european type engravings, I will post pictures when I get it ! ( that's why I thought about close eastern Europa origin...)
Yes the blade must have been shortened, but maybe not that much !
I saw old eastern europa's swords with fullers going until 1cm close to the tip of the blade so thats why I bought this one, the blade is still really long, more than 80cm...
Cavallery sword ?
I will post pictures of the strange hilt when I get it,
try to see if it is multi piece asssembled / bad welded
And determine if its extra cleaned/polished or just recent stuff ...

Regards
