Hi all,

i would like to share with you, my family weapons that have passed to me.
It is a pistol and a yatagan. Both weapons belonged to my great great great grandfather who was a well known and recognized chief in the Cretan revolution of 1866.
I would say that the pistol is of European origin, probably of early or mid 18th century. The mechanism is French. It was decorated in Crete. Yatagan has similar decorations. Any comments welcome
Thanks
