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.

You are very welcome Gadi. I looked at other yatagans that you posted. For the Balkan one, I don't have anything to add Dom's translation, I could not make anything out of the second line. For the other one a clearer picture might help, maybe
