Very nice sword: with this European blade with talismanic i nscriptions and a Turk's head (if I am seeing he pitures correctly), to me it looks like something that is associated with the infamous Pandours.

To me it seems like one of those pieces from Southern Italy, Naples manufactured trade sword made for export to the Ottoman empire. Nice piece IMHO
