Very nice!! Congrats on this find.
Yataghan are from the Turkish region or Balkan area. My knowledge is to small to tell you from what region these are, but you will get comments on these two lovely pieces. |

They were also brought into Africa from Turkey. The scabbards look African to me, similar to flyssa scabbards. So perhaps Algeria, Lybia, or even Morocco?
