Fine 18-19th Century Ottoman-made "mameluke" or kilic. This is truly an impressive saber, the blade is 33" long, very large for a kilic. The handle is rhino horn, and the saber is overall in excellent condition. The fuller is unusual in Ottoman pieces, making it a rare desirable addition to any Middle Eastern collection. The scabbard has the famous "Turkish Zipper," which Western powers were never able to properly imitate. Great piece, and fine addition to any militaria collection!
