Yataghan Spot the Difference
Here's a rum thing...
Can anyone see the similarities in the decoration on the following yats? Hint: Crudely chiselled identical decoration, anomalous inscriptions and illegible maker's marks on blades attached to widely differing hilts... The relevant yats are to be found in these threads: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=12424 http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=yataghan http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=11535 (this one being mine) and, at a pinch, : http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=yataghan So, of all the yataghans in all the world, three/four from what looks to be the same atelier happen to come on the market at the same time, with completely different fittings? Discuss... |
