Book with inscriptions
There is a Russian Book with quite a few inscriptions on yataghans translated, but you need to speak Russian. There are also French articles of yataghan translations. I have heard a couple of the Russian book may be printed in English soon.
Always enjoy seeing a coretwist balde... rand |

Thanks Rand,
I do read Russian (which is different from speaking it) without problems. Which books is it - Astvatsaturian's "Турецкое Оружие"? I did not get it when I should have and I am afraid it is out of print now. Regards, Teodor |

Punch shape for inlay
Would like to point out the use of a retangular punch in a series of over lapping punches used to form the channel for the silver to be inlaid in the first yataghan posted in this thread. You can clearly see the retangular punch marks where the silver is now absent.
Thanks very much for posting these photo's, rand |
