Another puzzling marking on a Balkan weapon

TVV · 13th August 2007, 05:33 AM

The last blade marking I posted in the yataghans origins thread generated some interesting discussion. Here is another one, with not that ancient of an origin at all. It is in the base of a kilij blade, and to me one side looks like skull, and the other one has the latin letters "KULL". The kilij is not mine, and the person to whom this kilij belongs does not want to show pictures of the entire sword or the blade, so please do not ask - I want to see it just as much as you do, but this is impossible at the moment.
My question is, has someone seen the same or similar mark elsewhere?
Thanks,
Teodor
