Unusual Yataghan scabbard for comment
I thought this a most unusual and seldom seen scabbard finial when I saw it and thought it worth sharing as such types are rarely seen and I can't place one in Elgood, Asvatsaturyan, Vedensky, Stone, Lebedynsky, the Kroatien Jatagane reference, the four I have seen from the Moser collection or anything other reference at hand.
The only item showing a 'similar' coloured finial is the trousse, fig 033 in Elgood Arms of Greece. Comments and discussion most welcome. Gav Last edited by freebooter; 21st June 2011 at 12:54 PM. Reason: image addition |
