Hi Valjhun
Thanks to have complied with forum rules :p
very nice yatagan, indeed ;)

I beleive that we get the complete name :o
"HASSAN" has been translated in middle
"HELMY" around, and formed the "tughra" (Ottoman Turkish: طغراء; Ṭuğrā) :p

:D :D :D :D - C'mon guys, I didn't know about that rule :shrug:

Thank you very much for translation, Dom.

Atlantia, Yes, the grips are wallrus. I would say that is a Bosnian piece from around 1800.
