Balkan Yatagan Info Needed

Battara · 23rd June 2008, 03:49 AM

Hi Folks!

I need some help - would someone who has the Russian book on "Turkish Arms" below please post or email me the pages with info and pictures of silver balkan yataghans with their scabbards (example: the yatagan in the picture below - the sword with the "bat" ears)?

I need to be able to get them translated so that I can better determine what kind of scabbard is accurate to make for one dated 1820.

My email is: battara@hotmail.com

Many thanks - Jose
