One for the' Flysserati'.

Hi,
Found this image in a sold catalogue from a U.K. auction house. I have not seen this type of hilt before and I thought this may interest the aforesaid 'Flysserati'.
Regards,
Norman.

P.S. This is the only photograph.

The unusual hilt reminds me of Ottoman hilts made of agate on some khanjar. Not seen this hilt type on a flyssa before.

Oops, the F word! :)

The scabbard also seems to be similar to yataghan scabbard construction, not the typical flyssa style. We've seen a number of these in Ottoman fashion, and vice versa, yataghan in flyssa-style scabbard.
