Here are 2 more photos from the blade.... Where did i found them? From my archive of past auctions, because this (Greek in my opinion) dagger was on auction some years ago...
But looking at the 3rd photo a made a really funny discovery! There was no inscription at the time the dagger was sold! It is clear from the third photo that the space of the inscription was empty.... Also the description of the auction does not mention any date or inscription... Be careful guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

It's a shame.... Sorry Elgood...and I thought that I found solid proof for the Greek character of these objects.... Poor fellow owner.... Anyway, next are 4 Turkish yataghans. (One of them could be Cretan?) |

A little fakery
Eftihis:
When I first looked at the images you showed of the auction pictures compared with the recently found sword, I thought that they may have been twins rather than the same sword. However, when you put them side by side, the sheaths are indeed identical (except for the inscription, of course). Great eye and great memory! Caveat emptor indeed! Ian. |

Says it all realy, Earlier photos look like the panel had had an inscription removed, then lo & behold its been inscribed again!
Would have been nice to see what the original inscription was. Guess the moral is don't pay for inscriptions... just the item {Sadly true on many engraved kukri as well.} Caveat emptor indeed! Spiral |
