I have never seen anything like this before. The hilt design and what few markings there are very strongly suggest it was manufactured by Providence Tool Co. along with their contract for the Turkish M.1874 Peabody Saber bayonet, and as such, I would guess it is some kind of trials or experimental piece that was pitched to the Turks. But this is all an educated guess.
Anyone out there have any idea??
