These were big with the Janisarries of the Ottoman armies (along with their yataghans). Very nice example and one that is on my want list.

Goregeus! Also on my waiting list. Like Ham Sensei undirectly mentioned it is called Kalkan, and it is a counterpart of the more famous indopersian Dhal/Separ. Usually kalkans are smaller in diameter than dhal and they're quite rare.

What is the diameter of your piece?
