gp,
Only the originator of a post or Vikingsword staff can post a reply to a thread in Swap. That's why you were unable to post a reply. |

Looking through the excellent museum compilation, I noted this interesting piece. A straight yataghan said to be from a cut down saber. Here is the Museum entry:

2 other museums and one study http://h.etf.unsa.ba/btp/content/muz..._eng/about.htm https://www.researchgate.net/publica...e_Banat_Museum page 327: https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/download/article-file/10435 could well be the bone had been darkened...but normally indeed a bone would be white and used for the bjeloscapi / whitecolored yataghan and bichaqs although an error is human, Dora Bošković has quite some publications and books published, so I can not comment easily on this specific item...

by the way, the book by Sercer, Marija. Jatagani u Povijesnom muzeju Hrvatske. Katalog muzejskih zbirki XI. Zagreb : Povijesni muzej Hrvatske, 1975.
is also partially available in German, made for an exhibition in Austria : Jatagane aus dem Historischen Museum von Kroatien in Zagreb (Agram). Sonderausstellung im Landeszeughaus 9. April - 7. Juni 1976. Graz : Landeszeughaus am Landesmuseum Joanneum, 1976 with regards to " referring to the hilt as "bone," I think they mean horn," ; many hilts of yataghans, bichaqs and kamas were made also from bone ...the poor man's version or cheap repair of the ones and compared to the ones made from walrus, ivory or horn in the Balkans. I have one yataghan which handle is not completly walrus or ivory, but had a repair from that time (19th century in which the of the handle, the "wing" wasthat badly damaged, that part got repaired / substitued locally by a piece of bone ; the epiphysis). I shall try to make some good pics to show it. Last edited by gp; 20th January 2024 at 10:43 PM. |
