Hi Teodor,
I unfortunately don't have Elgood's newest book yet. Are you referring to the karakulak knives in the Balkans?
It's just that the yataghan posted here has features very similar to Indian weapons, and is actually fairly different from the karakulaks I've seen. This one seems to have a separate khukri-like bolster as opposed to the integral variety seen on karakulas.
Looking forward to getting Elgood's book.
All the best,
Emanuel
