I can take this one too. With these yatagan ears, all the members will tell you that it might be from the Balkans. Well with this "sword" stamp, I can tell you that your knife is from Sarajevo. Very late 19th or even early 20th c. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...sarajevo+knife Kubur |

Thank you for the answers!Indeed, this was my assumption,but the style of ears is atypical for Bosnian knife makers To admit, for the first time, I see a handle without any decoration.

and the other Bosnian knives are made of bone less valuable with inlays as a kind of upgrade... |
