Yataghans:bibliography and identification

[mankova]

In referring to yataghans' origin, do you mean as specifically to classification of the examples in the book as to regional attribution?

Don't really know yet... I'm already searching for similar examples (form and the year) to see where are they mostly from and it really looks balkan. Especially those rivets on the light hilt with pretty large ears and leaf-shaped decoration of the blade.

Do you know this page? It;s a catalogue of THE ARMS AND ARMOURY COLLECTION from Croatian History Museum in Zagreb
