Default Yatagan for translation and comments
Hello,

I have recently acquired the Yatagan in the photos attached.

Can somebody please help me with the translation of the cartouche?!

What do you think about it, made in Turkey, or made it in the Balkans?!

Regards,

Marius

Very nice yataghan, top quality. My guess would be Balkan, and if I have to guess further, I would say Bosnia.

I would agree that it is an Ottoman Balkan yatagan, very nice, looks like walrus ivory hilt and the inscriptions seem to be intact.
