The Yathagan Collection in the Croatian History Museum catalogue

[serdar]

Those books by dora boskovic and marija sercer are ok, but they got wrong on many yatagan producing techniques.
Best book on weapons that was used on Balkan teritory is Vajsil Čurćić Starinsko oružje u bosni i hercegovini.
In that book it is covered all weapon types and are corect.
Another great book on yatagans is Goran Bubanja jatagani u crnoj gori.
Those two books are excelent.
Museum books are full of wrong data, especialy Split museum book, they have in ther inventar two false albanian made 20 st yatagans that are falsly marked in 15 st, and they dont recognise that, so museum “experts” are 50/50 info.
Pozdrav.

Question to the forum members:

just stumbled upon this only 88 paged book "Yatagan, Khanda, and Jamdhar: Swords and Sabers of Persia and India" by Martina Sprague...

Couldn't find much about her, except the fact that she is a military historian, martial artist and did write a 540 page book called "Knives, Swords, and Bayonets: A World History of Edged Weapon Warfare (the full series)"

Anybody knows about her and these 2 books? Please your advise, thnx a lot !

to you and your loved ones a little pic and as well for those following the Julian calendar...
