K Pasta, Dudes and Dudettes?
Just got this Balkan yataghan from Oriental-Arms. The hilt is silver and the scabbard is white metal. The blade has a maker's mark and some silver and gold koftgari script. What does that script say? Thanks |

the scrip "could" said ;
made by Mohamed Aghra owner (? friend) Malek Ahmed Aghra I wrote "could" because the word "saheb" could be translated as well as "friend" or "owner" nice yatagan, bravo à + Dom |

!Wow! What a great piece, Battara. I love yataghans. I even use it´s name as a nick on some forums. My deep congratulations, and I prey you will post a good dozen pictures of it, at least. Do I see some drawing under the decorated part of the blade?
Regards Gonzalo |

In the hope that Dom does not get annoyed with me, I want to add a few things to translation as a Turkish speaker.
The inscription is: Amel-i Muhammed Ağa sahib ü malik Ahmed Ağa 1211 Work of Muhammed Agha, Owner Ahmed Agha H. 1211 (1796/97 AD) |

![]() ![]() ![]() it's a REAL pleasure when you feel that you'r not alone to get headache, and some one is backing you ![]() I'M SERIOUS, no competition between us, just complementarity for the benefit of our fraternity at least, it is like that I understand my action here but definitively, I'm a damned stupid to have forget to translate the easiest part ![]() thanks to have corrected that mess, because, datation is too rare, and too much important .. ![]() all the best à + Dom (who will be in a 3 weeks time in Istanbul .. Inch'Allah for a week, and Damascus 2 weeks before) |

Simply marvelous, Battara! I second Gonzalo's motion about posting plenty of pictures here once it arrives.
