Yes it’s Greek but not a Yatagan. |
I think Arial wrote bichaq.
Ariel you got my idea, even if you probably don't share it.
This is a good example of Greek weapon, a good Christian orthodox dagger with typical niello and engravings i don't even speak of the date nor the inscription on the blade...
I think this dagger has a nice yataghan handle
I saw some daggers with yataganish blades
so my questions are
what is the minimum and maximum size for a yataghan?
a yataghan is it the blade or the handle?
i saw many yataghans with straight blades
