Hi Revels and welcome to the EEWRS Forum.
What you have is a yataghan with a somewhat unusual hilt. Others here will be able to give you the particular nationality/ethnic group from which this one originated, and can translate the arabic inscription for you. The yataghan, with its recurved blade, is a chopping weapon used mainly by foot soldiers. Ian. |
