I just got this from an eBay seller, who is selling off part of her grandfather's collection. It was listed as "possibly Bosnian Armanian or Greek. One piece ivory hilt. 12 3/4" overall. Brass covered wooden scabbard."
Would also like a translation of the Arabic. Not a published piece. This is all I know about it. Any ideas? Thanks |

Hi! That is a typical Sarajevo dagger as were manufactured and sold on the Bash charshiya market. The age is around 1850-1890. I would say that it is more towards 1850 as after the austrohungaric "liberation" of bosnia they used more commonly latin alfabet and gregorian calendar.
I cannot help you for the transaltion thou. |

nice addition. looking at the writing, even though its upside down, its old turkish or arabic and the numbers translated to the gregorian calender is 1898 ( 1314 + 584 roughly). if what i saw is correct.
