My friend has another one of these potentially earlier yataghans, but it is much bigger, at about 80 cm overall. Another difference is the dark horn hilt and the blade decoration, even if the blade also has layers of Turkish Ribbon.





It is similar to this one that was sold by Sotheby's many years ago. I will also attach a picture in case the link stops working or the image is removed.
