Thanks Ariel,

An Ottoman Yataghan. Great! Now i hope somebody is able to translate the inscription for me. Is it possible to get a good hilt for a reasonable price for this blade? Or can i better try to make a hilt by myself?

Are my eyes deceiving me or does the script say, "Made in China?"

It took a long time before I did, but since I wear spectacles I can see better and a lot more nowadays
