good battle quality flyssa
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. |

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!!!!!
Outstanding worn old warrior.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.
