ottoman kilich blade ??
What this is ,is a cheap newly made syrian imitation of an ottoman blade, floating in numbers in istanbul going for about 100 -150 us dollars.The overlay is not ottoman but again simply a degenerated copy of kufic work which is difficult to translate.The shape of blade
its size ,possibly its weight and the ornementation are all wrong.Sorry to be sounding very negative but Id let the buyer beaware (cveat emptor ) Regards Yataganman |

I find the quality of this blade quite good, ( flexible-but not that much) the engravings are really well made, not cheap touristic work If they are like this one, 150 $ is a really good price ! have you got a picture of these swords to compare please ? |

I was thinking that the rules are we can't talk about something for sale... I suspect that no dealer on the forum will buy this sword so the rules can be transpassed...

I was also surprised by some negative comments on this blade. It is not to be confused with modern blades from Istanbul, other markets and on-line, it is nothing like. It is of crucible steel, the writing is unusual but in true inlay and of good quality, the box is also fine. The blade looks to be 19thC, probably Persian or Syrian (I'd say Syrian, as the box is Syrian, as other items it came with). Can be restored nicely by adding proper crossguard and hilt. |

Hello,
Can you take better photos of the steel? Syrians make blades that look great but those blades tend to be crowbar heavy. A pattern can tell a lot. Tang is definitely new but that is ok. |

Gold looks a lot better than the modern stuff so I am not sure. Polish a small area and etch?
