Sword with Scabbard

Sword with Scabbard. Culture: Grip and guard, Turkish, Ottoman; blade, European. Dimensions: L. with scabbard 40 3/8 in. (102.5 cm); L. without scabbard 39 3/4 in. (101 cm); L. of blade 34 3/4 in. (88.3 cm); Wt. 1 lb. 13 oz. (827 g); Wt. of scabbard 1 lb. (453 g). Date: Grip and guard, late 17th century; blade, 17th century. The nielloed silver moutns are typical of Ottoman weapons, although the use of lapis lazuli are rare. The straight European blade suggests that this cavalry weapon was carried in addition to the more usual curved saber. Pairs of weapons with straight and curved blades were common in eastern Europe in the seventeenth century.
