Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia and there is no Serbs at all in the citye, but lots of them in the surrounding lands, known as the republika srbska whom capital is Banja Luka... well, quite hard to understand but that is the blakan boiler... ) Sarajevo is ihabitet by musims, so thoose daggers are typical muslim pieces. Also the name Sarajevo is turkish in origin, with the word saray, meaning "palace" in turkish language.

BTW, thatone is an interesting piece! I've never seen one of them with fullers. Looks like a trabzon blade fitted in the bosnian manner...

Sarajevo is indeed mostly Muslim now. Before the war of Yugoslavian disintegration it was a multi-national city with Bosniaks, Serbs and Croatians living there. Some have remained but the cruel legacy of the was has forced those people to separate themselves from each other. There is a great Serbian Orthodox Church in down town Sarajevo.
