... What do we know about Syrian renovations of Yataghans? They are pretty active re-mastering silverwork for Kilijes and Shamshirs, but I have not seen "Damascus" ( )Yataghans yet.

Ariel,
You are correct. Not many Yataghans are currently re-mastered in Damascus. However, there are some. And the silverwork of the one in question reminds me of the modern work. One point though - the only new silver scabbard starts at $500 and up. So, go figure:-)
