Balkan warrior photo
I got this photo from a friend, it is a part out of an old calender from Jugoslavia, 1956. Courtesy of the owner, Mr. Heddi Orr.
Thought it may be of interest |

Too bad we cannot see much detail from the yataghan hilt, as it would have helped with the so far impossible task of determining yataghan types on a geographical basis. Thank you, Teodor |

What I find interesting is the scabbard looks like it is from a parang and not a yataghan?

the sheath throat is interesting though I think I seen this on yataghan sheaths before; regionally diagnostic?
What is the belt running down the man's right shoulder? Any thoughts? Answers? |
