[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 244609, member: 301"][IMG]https://images.aspireauctions.com/auctions/2012FEB/large/46362-01.jpg[/IMG] Ottoman / Turkish ...these come in a wide variety . Aspire auction marks this one as sold for $230. [IMG]http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/t0sAAOxyq15SOkbW/s-l1600.jpg[/IMG] Ebay wants $2500 for this older example ......but I'd want papers with that ! [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/83/5c/4b/835c4b6ba5aeb43f79aec0098d00ae07.jpg[/IMG] Here's a nice old one.....says Morocco . [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/b9/70/ed/b970edd4fb69c1c1e802871810d686c9.jpg[/IMG] Another Moroccan attributed version ... [IMG]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TmviHHlaA54/T6rNv23eyuI/AAAAAAAABm0/robhqqma0OA/s1600/IMG_0579.JPG[/IMG] This one is called Turkish.... You can see the blade is fashioned similar to yours. Yours is really nice , & while I'm sure the blade will kill, I doubt it ever has. The craftsmanship & style of yours is lovely....& I'm thinking ceremonial ....but if it is a tourist item...it's at the very highest end. Below is a classic.....documented.....
