Early Yataghan for Comments and Discussion

In my oppinion, this is a recent (very recent) yataghan made in the style of older examples.

I have visited extensively museums in Turkey and haven't encountered any single example of old blade with "Turkish ribbon" pattern weld. In fact, all "Turkish ribbon" pattern welded examples I have seen were assumed from late 19th century blades... but they were most likely 20th century.
