@Yunus That’s Mamluks armor correct?

Or is that Turkish?

which one @Ned Kelly

i thought all of them were ottoman tbh

just found out the mamluks were turkic btw The word Mamluk means ‘owned’ and the Mamluks were not native to Egypt but were always slave soldiers, mainly Qipchak Turks from Central Asia
