It seems like a after restoration item , barrel seems original , also '' kın'' is looks original but metal works on ( kın) looks new and , and ı think ivory parts also new ... professionals says the little yatağans like this short size are belongs to high statue persons .... is there any detail photo of each side of barrel ?

Here are some pictures
I think that everything is original, not restoration!

Missing corals on handle?

A good question Andrew. However, I have noticed that the rings on the hilt strap and bolster are filigree and not bezel cups to hold corals. Thus no corals missing.

A nice and unusual yataghan. The fittings show a good amount of age at least to my eye from the pictures. The blade profile and the fuller, as well as the scabbard are different from the usual Balkan and Anatolian examples. My guess would be that this yataghan was made in Western Europe as a gift for someone in the Balkans or the Ottoman Empire.

when you look to ıvory handel its clearly terrible amateur restoration ( and parts are new ) , and scabard is not typical too ... on the barrel there is no word that kuran , where is the maker name of amel-i ?
