Estcrh, beautiful yataghan; is it yours ? I think you are absolutely right about it having been rehilted, especially since it is missing the extensive metal foil work at the hilt which usually accompanies these swords.I did notice some other similarities with your sword; first the heavy throat on the scabbard with a similar stylized design and could your sword also have been rehilted, since it appears that some of the inscriptions appear to have been covered up by the metal foil at the hilt ?
