The Yathagan Collection in the Croatian History Museum catalogue

[serdar]

Those books by dora boskovic and marija sercer are ok, but they got wrong on many yatagan producing techniques.
Best book on weapons that was used on Balkan teritory is Vajsil Čurćić Starinsko oružje u bosni i hercegovini.
In that book it is covered all weapon types and are corect.
Another great book on yatagans is Goran Bubanja jatagani u crnoj gori.
Those two books are excelent.
Museum books are full of wrong data, especialy Split museum book, they have in ther inventar two false albanian made 20 st yatagans that are falsly marked in 15 st, and they dont recognise that, so museum “experts” are 50/50 info.
Pozdrav.
