Laz Bichaq - Black Sea Yatagan
My new acquisition - a very pretty, small Laz Bichaq, blade is only 53 cm., with the scribed and bras-inlaid decorations of much better quality than most examples I have seen. On the reverse side of the blade there appear to be some letters in a vignette, and possibly a date to the left of it, in another vignette, which were difficult to photograph. I wonder if someone can make them out.
