Hi again,
My cousin has this "set" of arms:
A Turkish pistol, a palaska, a yataghan with inscription and a strange sword dated 1817.
Can anybody help to translate?
And what is the second sword?
Thanks a lot.

The "strange" sword looks like either a kilij or a shamshir minus the crossguard that was originally there. A closeup of the last half of the blade would be helpful for a better determination.
Will wait for others to translate.

Can anybody help to translate?unfortunatly the quality of pictures cancel the translation possibilities, nevertheless
- the date should be 1230 or 1235 Hegira either 1814 or 1819 Gregorian
- the tughra, possible to read "Ahmed"
- the "cartouche" it's hopeless, and maybe in Turkish language

Sadly, erased parts made it impossible to read the script. It is Turkish, I can guess the first word is "bu" (this), but the rest is ????
