Hi Rick,
We're kinda back to where I started with it

Balkan (possibly) but the hilt is of a type I've not seen on these.
The ones in the thread you linky'd are not quite the same......
Any thoughts?
You have a nice example there, love the hilt shape.

greece is of course part of the balkans....

Countries which are geographically fully located within the Balkan peninsula:

* Albania
* Bosnia and Herzegovina
* Bulgaria
* Greece
* Kosovo
* Macedonia
* Montenegro

Countries which are significantly located on the peninsula:

* Serbia (Central Serbia, partially Belgrade region; comprises around 2/3 of country's territory)
* Croatia (around 1/2 of overall territory)
* Slovenia (around 1/3 of overall territory)

Countries which are located mostly outside the peninsula:

* Romania (6% of its territory, comprising Northern Dobruja)
* Turkey (3% of its territory, comprising Eastern Thrace)
* Italy (small part around the city of Trieste)

Hi kronckew!
I would want to make a correction to your post my friend!
MACEDONIA is part of Greece and not οther country.They is a error that becomes very often.
The country that you mean is FYROM According UN,NATO and European Union!

Thank you!
