Strange Yataghan

[wolviex]

Jim!
There is one thing I would like to solve to avoid some misunderstanding. I put CHINESE in quotes because this is style which we are matching as such. I'm not quite sure if it was made as "chinese" in 18th century, how far our European ancestors were familiar with so exotic weapons from far far east. Maybe it's just a simple convergence of shapes? So the question is, do we have 18th c. chinese weapons that could be a pattern for these hangers, and were they know in Europe?
Eastern fashion, I thought about, is appearing in yataghan blades, fitted to European hangers.

No problem, I could send it to you as priority, but I suppose you're not the only one who likes it and before it reach you some postman will be induced and will drink it
