Toedor,
You are welcome. These translations create an opportunity to see pictures of different yatağans which would otherwise be impossible to see for me, so it's not boring, on the contrary...So, keep them coming  Best, Zifir |

Hi Stelio,
the script on the blade is unreadable, at least for me. Am I correct to read "177_" with arabic numbers at the end? or maybe I am hallucinating from looking at it too much . The blade maker's seal is also difficult to read, but I think it is "amel-i Muhammed /work of Muhammed." Zifir |

Thank you very much zifir. The date in Arab calendar is 1166. They try to make most clear images on both sides of the blade

Thank you, Dom!
I appreciate your help and I am very happy that I may contact people like you. Once again thank you very much for your reply and that you paid attantion to me. According to this I agree with David R who said that damaged, incomplete, and stripped weapons are often more informative than perfect examples. I would like to show you here some of my possessions - yataghans, found in villages near my home town - one of the centers of gun craft and trade in the past. The yataghans are not luxory made, but they are made for ordinary people to use them in battles. I would like also to show you some knives made in Bulgaria in the same period named ''karakulak'' and ''akulak'' /which means black and white ear/. |
