Unfortunately, I can only read the date = 1226 = 1820/1821 ?
Can anyone help with the rest of the inscription? Interesting would be the taking of the blacksmith . Kurt |

It's not the first thread which don't received first not many comments but become later a free runner. ![]() ![]() ![]() Best regards, Detlef |

Kurt,
Please, do not get offended. We are talking only about 2 days delay. It is a very nice kilij, Battara is correct, and I join him. I seem to get a hint of wootz; am I correct? BTW, the date is 1236. |

You're right I made a mistake. The correct date is 1236 =1821 Blade is wootz. Must be etched. Kurt |

Kurt,
Don't leave us! This place probably has a high percentage of the people world-wide that have an interest in ethnographic arms collecting! It is a small but high quality group and every member is valued. The Ottoman kilij looks great. I wonder if some of the experts on the forum can comment on the almost pristine gold work. Almost too perfect. Any thoughts? |
