Yataghan for translation and comment
Hello,
Recently purchased this Yataghan and I would appreciate any comments pertaining it. Is it Greek, Bosnian or Turkish? Any date or maker's name in the cartouches? Can anybody help me please with the translation of the cartouches? Best regards, Marius |

The hilt form looks more Turkish to me than Balkan.
Very nice! |

I think that without a clear written location or smith's signature, it is close to impossible to accurately locate the place of manufacture since many manufacturing centers shared the same know-how and tradition and smiths and skills traveled frequently from center to center within the Ottoman Empire.
