Montenegrin weapons

[KraVseR]

rickystl, if you know any weapon that was used by Montenegrin soldiers in the 19th century, let me know, please.

Сold weapon still remains undiagnosed...

Nice illustrations.

I see sabres, yataghans, biçaks, karakulaks and things like Surmene knives. A few pictures show the fanciful generic "scimitar" but the scenes look formulaic.

Thank you! But what specific sabers you see?

[Emanuel]

A wide variety of Ottoman kilij / pala, perhaps even some karabelas, and yes Mameluke sabres as well. I see some sabres with western guards but I cannot identify specific sabre patterns. Elgood's book has a very good overview of the very large range of edged weapons available in the Balkans in that time, some in Ottoman style, some in Polish, Hungarian and Western styles. There are also many different combinations, sometimes of kilij blades with yataghan handles (like this one)

Are you asking for specific identification in each individual illustration? If so I suggest you post each photo in a separate post in this thread so we can comment on each individually. If not then search for examples of the above terms as there are many posted on this forum.

Regards,
Emanuel

Thank you!
No, I need any weapon that used by these warriors. So far, the issue was settled, but if I'll have a question - I'll write here.
