Hello all,

Got this one today, its a really nice "karabella" but am not sure since i have low expertise about those type of swords. It could be southern arab or turkish as both used karabelas, correct?

The hilt, crossguard and scabbard fitting are all bronze and scabbard is covered in cloth. Its a very well balanced sword with a decently forged blade that has a yelman. It maintains awesome sharpness i nearly cut myself with it. Its slightly rusty but will clean it when am free.

Here are the pictures:

Would appreciate all opinions.
