Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - A ‚Christian’ Yataghan – Translation help needed :-)

Tatyana Dianova · 26th May 2009, 02:05 PM

Here is a large and pretty heavy Yataghan from West Anatoly. It has deeply etched pattern welded blade, decorated with silver true inlay and 3D arrows. And it has a fish inlay which looks like a Christian symbol on the top of the handle bolster. It is interesting, what the inscriptions on the blade say. Maybe somebody (Dom :-)?) can help with the translation? I will appreciate any comments :-)
