One of the oldest. Verry nice massive thick and laminated blade. Should I etch it to see the pattern more clearly?
84 cm overall. Not the usual thiny bladed hanger but an excellent combat quality sword. |

Leave it as it is; it is currently in a stable state.

It would be a shame to etch it IMHO......
The notch on the back before the false edge is interesting...is it there to relieve stress and shock to the blade ? Or has it another function? |

Puullleeese leave it as is!!!!!
![]() Is the back edge of the blade sharpened up to that raised section? Check the discussion on 'Old 1900's Indian sword'...same type feature. Best, Jim |

Is this a flyssa, or a yatagan? It looks more like a Black Sea yatagan to me.
