Hallo Rand, regarding the last yataghan on the previous thread, the tugra reads: "Mohamed Ali" which was the ruler of Egypt during the time of Greek revolution (1821-30). He sent his army in Greece to help the Sultan against the revolution. The yataghan was found in Greece, so obviously belonged to an officer of his army.
