Hi Mavi,
sorry cannot help with the translation, but wondered whether you could post more pictures of the sword. Do you have any other information about it ? The reason is that I am currently considering buying one that was recently offered to me. thank you. Regards David |

Hi Mavi,I had the same or very similar years ago i was under the impression that it was Turkish 1WW .I thought mine was a cut down full sized sword used as a trench knife or a side arm but i could be wrong .

Hi. it is a ww1 period Turkish military sword. i know it as not infantry but artillery officers sword.They were produced in several (at least 3) different lengths with the same scabbards and hilt,and with differing steel qualities. Plus,there are a few models more,which were not produced in Turkey but imported from Germany ,having blades with German maker marks. All of them were straight. However,only once I met a sample with curved,strong blade, again with the same hilt model and the same inscription. Perhaps was a private order.. I dont read Arabic alphabet,but as far as I know the inscription writes "Allah bizimledir" in Turkish meaning "Allah(God) is with us".
regards |

Hi Mavi,
have now got the Turkish officers sword I mentioned earlier. Good quality steel and a horn handle. I have posted this on the European Armoury Forum, in case you are interested http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...6572#post96572 Regards David |
