Hi lpa2000,
welcome to the forum. I would suggest that the guns, the Runkel blade and the bayonets be posted seperately on the European Forum.

The Seme's , tulwar, yataghan and longsword would be better posted individually in 4 posts on Ethnographic. This will ensure a better response for you.

Kind Regards David

Hi Mike,

Welcome to the forum - that's a beautiful Black Sea yat...

With regards to the bayonets, I see, clockwise from the top-left, a Danish Mauser, a British P1888 (top-right), a British No. 4 spike bayonet (from WWII), and what appears to be a cruciform socket bayonet, which limits it to one of several patterns... Not sure which one exactly - it doesn't have the profile of a (Russian) Mosin Nagant socket bayonet... If you could post close-up pics of any stamps or marks on the last one, it would help.

The bayonet on the left under the broadsword looks like a Swedish M1898 to me. Just like those who commented before me, I too would like to see the etnographic blades in more detail in separate threads.
Regards,
Teodor

You are absolutely correct. Not sure why I erroneously "knee jerk" those as Danish Mausers, but I did the same thing not once, but twice, within the past 2-3 months. Thanks for the correction...

Hi LPA2000,

Welcome to the forums.

I'd like to see a thread about your black sea yataghan! They are beautiful and worthy of further investigation.

Congrats on a great collection,

Best
Gene

I mix up Mannlicher M88 and M95 bayonets all the time, and I have a dozen of them, so I can relate. The etnographic items are a lot more interesting than the bayos anyway.

Hard to tell for sure from the photo, but the lanyard ring in the butt, protruding front trigger guard screw, two-piece wood(?) grips and unusually shaped cylinder pin suggest the revolver may be a Spanish copy of the Colt Single Action Army. Any markings would be helpful for a better identification.

From the top

2 simis Massai
1 kaskara blade
1 black sea yataghan
1 tulwar and some type of Tibetan sword? All nice examples
