				 Turkish Kilij-translation requested 
 
			
			Here is a kilij for viewing.  The handle is rhino-horn with an old repair on one side.  The crossguard has silver inlay, mostly intact.  The blade is 33 inches long and is made of sham wootz.  No scabbard.  I think this sword is an early 1800s piece but I would like more expert opinions on the date.  Any help on a translation would be appreciated........Dave.
