Early Pandor Yataghan sabre??

[Andy Stevens]

Hello all!
We haven't posted in the discussion forums for a while and if truth be told have missed the buzz of the place! In the spirit of recent changes we have decided to start showing some of our more interesting and unusual pieces!
Our first offering is this Yataghan. from previous posts we have learned it may have been used by Pandor units in service with the Austrian army. At some point, a long time ago, the fittings have been put on upside down! We look forward to hearing any comments, particularly on the hilt. We think it's an early example but it's unlike any we have seen before. As a weapon, it feels very heavy and functional!
