yatagan from Balkan, Ottoman period, 19th century
from the 2 blade inscriptions, only 1 has been partially translated
the degraded condition of remaining incriptions, make them illegible :shrug:

MÂ SHÂ ALLAH either GOD HAS WILLED IT
SOUBHÂN ALLAH either PRAISE THE LORD
religious prayers ... in Arabic, as well as has to be :D

very nice yatagan, well preserved
