Had posted this one up on another forums a couple of years ago with no response. Since then it has been lost and...possibly included into a piece of bricolage artwork (kinda hard to tell what happened to it). Any way I was looking at the older pages on my photobucket and found it there so I decided to see if anyone here might know what it was. If I recall correctly both side of the blade were identical (not perfect but the same design on both sides), and there was no maker or hallmarking on it.

A Turkish Surmene perhaps?

The one and only:-)
Trabzon area, end of 19th century most likely. Muslim Georgians call it " Babas Kama": Grandfather's dagger. There are examples of them in the new Kirill Rivkin's book ( see topic). |

wow you guys are so quick on this stuff...so what's up with the design? does it have any significance or is it just fancy fuller work?

been a while since I posted this but looking through reference materials (for nothing in specific) I saw something fairly similar to this (at least in the blade and scabbard)....Could this be a flyssa blade with a replacement handle?

ah ok, just making sure it can't match for anything else. such an odd handle. Really wish I could find this thing again.
