Hi Kurt,

don't be disappointed, have a little patience. I am sure that you will get comments soon by your nice yat. It is not my area of collecting so I let others do the first step!

Kurt,
That is a very nice yataghan, and very well preserved. I held off on translating it, since I don't know Turkish and the text is a bit far away. but here are what I can help you with:
2nd pic, Work of Sharif, Owner Mohammad Shukri, year 1257
3rd pic, 2nd line, (No man like Ali and no sword like Zulfeqaar) on the scabbard, 1257.
I hope that is helpful, get a close up picture of the text and someone should be able to help with the rest.

Hi Sfenoid ,
You're right, the Yatagan with the silver inlay is from the same workshop
as mine.

can you read what the inscription says on mine?

[Zifir]

Hi,
The first line is:
Kendi nutk-ı pakdır nutk eyleyen Perverdegar

can be roughly translated as; His word is true/well spoken since it's Allah who makes him speak - referring to Ali

Best,

Amel-i Mustafa Sahib Ali Sene 1268

Work of Mustafa, Owner Ali Year 1851/52

Hello Kurt,
The yataghan bellow is in the collection of Historical and folk art museum of Rethymnon, in Crete. It was donated by a Cretan chieften that aquired it as a war trophy. It must be of the same maker! The silver scabbard was made in Crete by the last owner, so is not original of the sword!

Dear Eftihis ,

Thank you for pictures and info,
nice that the old original leather sheath is obtained under the Cretan silver Mounts .
I love this kind Yatagan.
