Balkan Yataghan with Silver and Coral

Very nice yataghan Jose, congratulations. I have nothing to add, except that I think that during the time the yataghan was made, Foca was in the Herzegovina sanjak, rather than in the Bosnia sanjak of the Ottoman Empire. While Elgood shows two examples with writing on them expressly mentioning that they were mounted in Foca, I would guess the style was popular in Herzegovina and Montenegro, and quite certainly in parts of Bosnia and Serbia.

Regards,
Teodor
