Awesome piece, i very much like it!
I cant read the cartouche perfectly but it could be Mala'eka (angels) or Mulla "something". I cannot write in arabic at the moment due to pc lacking arabic script. Would love to see it restored

Excellent catch Emanuel!
It would have taken a tremendous amount of work to produce a blade like that!! Well worth the effort of restoring. I look forward to seeing it finsihed. I'd hope one day to find a pattern welded Ottoman Yat and Kilıç to sit with my 'starry night' Kindjal. Congrats Gene |

It is written "Selanik" (Salonica,Thessaloniki whichever you like) in the cartouche.

Thanks folks.
Interesting, that would make this a Greek yataghan not Anatolian as I thought. Fearn, as I replied in the swap thread, I had initially posted in the wrong forum. The yataghan is certainly not for sale/swap
