Somehow i decided to try to find out about all the unknown pieces i had in my closet!
This is one i believe is a Bulgarian yataghan, there is damage to the handle, the blade is pitted but of very good construction, and there are gold inlays on one side and an inscription in gold on the other side. Part of the inlay are missing, but i tried very much in the photos so that the original text should be readable, by looking at the places the inlay has come out.
Would love to know what the inscription says.
Theodor can you help us?
