Old sword REAL OF FAKE

[Denis27]

Hello guys,

Can somebody please give some information about this sword ? The seller says that the sword was made in 1780 can it be that old ?

At first glance, I was thinking Pakistani based on the brass fittings and crude pommel artwork, Just My Opinion.

Looks indeed arabic. Although the animals depicted, boar and deer, arent very arabic... As it seems to depict the animals being hunted by hunting dogs i would guess it has something to do with hunting? Maybe osman? Found this example after a quick search: FRENCH MADE OTTOMAN EMPIRE HUNTING SWORD - S.E.L.L. Antiques a french made Osman hunting sword. It has some similarities in the blade, grip and crossguard, although in much higher quality.

Yes, agree with Adravor, lit looks like a European blade on an Eastern hilt. Could well be Ottoman in it's final form.
