[stelio]

Hello Kubur.

I think the sword pala became known in the balkans in the late 18th century and which was known balkan swords Kilij thin and Slim blade (photo).The pala sword come in the balkans, as blades and that the balkans had this great production yatagans and knives,balkan had large centers decorate these weapons to other markets in empire .I think some differences with turkish swords there but not sure at all the same because the artificial joint text had on the market throughout the north and east empire.The balkans had differences in handle and suspension points, in others we see religious symbols yet the scripture and not in Ottoman blade.
