19c Balkan Greco-Turkish Yataghan?
Possibly Bulgarian? Karakulak? Comments and any other info appreciated. Thanks.
The Auctioneer kept saying I was from UK and the other bidder was from Bulgaria. If he's one of our members, sorry, but  .Sadly, no scabbard, blade appears rusty but not pitted. Tiny bit of tip gone. Unusual brass bolster/tunkou finger ring as part of the grip. Wood slab sides. 62 cm. overall. Will be doing a bit of cleaning & active rust/verdigris removal. Will post better pics after... |
