Dear Colleagues. Help identify this item is. Its size is 60 cm.

Beautiful yataghan, despite the damage to the pommel. The hilt and bolster shape and decoration point to Greece. Based on Elgood's latest book, I think Epirus is likely the place where this piece was hilted.

Regards,
Teodor

I vote for Crete because of the niello and small ears. Nice......
