Thanks Ariel, thats the answer I was hoping for hehe. I had seen pictures with officers from Turkey from the 19th century, and the downward facing quillions was the main reason this sword gave itself away as turkish. were these swords ever made with wootz, damascus blades? this one really doesnt have the nickel plated characteristics and look, and the way it has discoloured and pitted.
