I rarely buy arms these days, but I could not resist this yatagan. Described as Yatagan 18-19th century. It has a silver scabbard and rhino handle, the blade has a turkish ribbon pattern and an inlayed star of David. 60cm long in scabbard. My research indicate firt half of the 19th century North Africa. But I cant pin country of origin. I was think Tunisia because it has a star of David, and Tunis had a large jewish population during this period. But than again the yatagan may have traveled from neighboring countries.
Maybe I have to settle for North Africa (unless I am totaly wrong), but someone more knowledgeable may be able to tell me something more definitive. Thanks! Last edited by Drabant1701; 1st March 2020 at 03:46 PM. |
