Hi everyone.
I have this unusual for me ottoman yataghan.
The scabbard is made from ivory.The upper and down parts are ivory and at the middle there is wood covered with velvet now worn out and gold stich at the middle.
The grips are also ivory and the metal parts are silver gilted.
There are three gilted siler flowers with green stones possibly emeralds?
I believe that this is a court yataghan of 18th century and quite unusual.
I see at the stamp at the blade with a date 1161 -1747? and if you can help me to find out what the signature says.
Most of all I wanted to share it with you.
Every input will be great!!.
Thanks in advance.
