Costa Navarino, Pylos,Greece, an amazing collection.
Hi guys,
I just came from Pylos,Greece and ιt was a big surprise to me the collection I found in public areas of the hotel Costa Navarino. At first, a wondefull Greek knife dated 1768 and signed: "made by Nikourios" (I think that Elgood made a mistake by placing the production of the best of them in Boka Kotorska) |

Looks like there is a stamp on the blade, and because this is both straight and has some unique fullering, I can't help but think this may have been built around a broken or cut down sword blade.
Any more pics of the blade? |

Here are 2 more photos from the blade.... Where did i found them? From my archive of past auctions, because this (Greek in my opinion) dagger was on auction some years ago...
But looking at the 3rd photo a made a really funny discovery! There was no inscription at the time the dagger was sold! It is clear from the third photo that the space of the inscription was empty.... Also the description of the auction does not mention any date or inscription... Be careful guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

It's a shame.... Sorry Elgood...and I thought that I found solid proof for the Greek character of these objects.... Poor fellow owner.... Anyway, next are 4 Turkish yataghans. (One of them could be Cretan?) |
