new yataghan in my collection

[gp]

Just won this at an auction, its description:

Balkan, 19th century, blade 49 cm, slightly edged at the back of the handle, bladeholder in engraved with 2 red stones and 5 mother-of-pearl inlays.
Wooden handle with smal ears



although I have to receive it yet, I think the so-called red stones might be carnelian; often used in the Balkans...
What surpises me a little is the use of mother-of-pearl inlays (perhaps a later replacement...?)
and no bone or horn grip / handle but wood; the latter is something I have seen rather with yataghans from Turkey than the Balkans...

Your thoughts and comments please...thank you !
