Is this a Black Sea Yatagan?

Ariel thank you for your response and I really appreciate your expertise and knowledge. I completely agree with your opinion. It’s not a Black Sea Yatagan or Laz Bichak or a Laz Yatagan some would call them. Perhaps it’s just a Yatagan from the area; a Yatagan from Black Sea ...

Osobist,
Have you noticed that your BSY is marked with Greek letters?

Even though we call them Laz Bichaq, they were not limited to Moslem Laz. If you look in the archives, you will find photos of Pontic Greeks with them.
