A yataghan dagger with a silver scabbard. I think the dagger is newer than the scabbard, usually silver scabbards of this type do not contain daggers with black horn handles.

The Turkish inscription says:

In old cretan knifes there is NEVER a black horn handle with silver scabbard. A silver scabbard fits only with white handle, either bone or ivory. On the stripe between the handles there are various designs. Thank you very much kwiatek for the translation!

eftihis, I beg your forgiveness if I caused your irritation.
I understood your first message so that you expected to see a silver hilt with this scabbard, like on bichaq. And the words "horn" and "ivory" in English, I confuse even with a translator) Forgive me my English, this is temporary) The drawing on the strip between the handles interested me precisely on the knife from the message #1. This is a very interesting authentic Cretan knife. If this is not a problem, please show this drawing . And if you show it, then please show the hilts marked in the photo. By the way, a very beautiful photo. |
