Old Yatagan

[gp]

I agree, the grip looks like # 19 and is indeed typical Ottoman Asia Minor.
Is the grip / handle made from wood or bone or horn ?

The blade looks also like a Yataghan bu the inscription decoration is interesting and I would like to see some close ups if possible after a little cleaning to see what exactly is written.

Compared to the usual Ottoman one, it looks a little more simple in its execution, but that also could be the work of a simple maker from the country side or a beginning crafstman...
