Trabzon short swords

erlikhan · 26th January 2006, 04:40 PM

My latest acquisitions, a pair of Eastern Black sea region of Turkey-Trabzon short swords with horn hilts. In fact I bought them from different shops but they look similar almost enough to accept as a pair. One is dated 1896 gregorien and its Hijri equivalent, and the other is dated only hijri, and there are just 10 years between their dates.
