Thank you very much for your opinion!

A question - as I understand, the work with twisted damascene bars died out in Caucasus after probably at latest 1860. Was it done longer in Turkey/Trabzon Vilayat? How long?

The same question regarding the handle - as I understand, this type of handle - one piece, with small "shoulders" - did disappear in Caucasus around 1860 or earlier. Was it done longer in Trabzon?
