Hello, friends. Someone asked me to ID a yatagan. The only thing I can make out is a date which looks like 1121, which translates to approx.1709 AD.
I really don't think the blade is that old. By the looks of it, I would say mid to late 1800s... Could our resident Arabic or Turkish speakers shed some light on this?
Thanks!
