Yataghan Needing Translation (Ivory-Coral)

Battara · 13th November 2010, 05:24 AM

Greetings Folks!

I just got this nice yat from Cowan's today. The hilt is walrus ivory and the stones are corals. Low silver filigree is on the hilt.

On the blade is silver koftgari with a semblance of a Solomon's star on one side (with decorative silver koftgari) and the other side has probably Turkish in Arabic script.

The scabbard is wood covered with black leather and steel mounts. Big hilt and blade! Note the stitching on the leather.

When I got it it was caked in black dirt and green corrosion. Now it is cleaned and nicer.

Enjoy
