I got offered some nice Ottoman bichaqs from Turkey and the Balkans.
Amongst it was a yataghan....according to the seller. No way a yataghan was my immediate thought; rather Asian and more than likely from Indonesia. Not being an expert on Indonesian cold arms, I consulted a Tuan who is most knowledgeable and confirmed my thoughts. It looks like a Sewar from Sumatra ( like the 3rd one by Albert van Zonneveld ) but the size is quite long : total 70 cm scabbard 57 cm (wooden part 50 1/2 cm) hilt made from ivory 14 cm blade 50 cm and quite heavy your thoughts and advice please...what is this and how old do you think it to be? |
