Here's an unusual cross-cultural item - a Yataghan with old Spanish Toledo blade. Likely not originally designed as such and "married" later, although the tang joint as well as the scabbard are old and original to the item when it was put together and I estimate it to the late 19thC (so perhaps it was original design?
. The blade is older one with "Toledo" engraved in the central groove. I'd like to hear from our cross-cultural experts, especially Charles and Rick, and of course from all others who may offer suggestions on blade's markings and when (the blade) was made. Even though a European blade, I placed it into Ethnographic category due to being cross-cultural and Yataghan.
