Zifir, you so very helpful!
I was wondering what is the "Eshab-i Keyf" and googled it but all results were in Turkish. Then I looked up "seven sleepers" in the Wikipedia and got the whole story of the sleepers and the cave (including the dog...). Amazing how the legend crosses cultures.
I have 2 more entries in this forum, named "Pls comment on this Yataghan" and "Plas help id this Yataghan". I would very much appreciate (considering you have the time, energy and will for it) if you would translate the writings on those two Yataghans as well.
Thank you so much again.
