Hi Valjhun
Thanks to have complied with forum rules
very nice yatagan, indeed

I beleive that we get the complete name
"HASSAN" has been translated in middle
"HELMY" around, and formed the "tughra" (Ottoman Turkish: طغراء; Ṭuğrā)

- C'mon guys, I didn't know about that rule

Thank you very much for translation, Dom.

Atlantia, Yes, the grips are wallrus. I would say that is a Bosnian piece from around 1800.

Don't take it too hard, Valjhun
You don't live a day when you had that day no laugh

Sometimes it is just funny here
