Ottoman Yataghan inscription on the blade

[kwiatek]

A more literal translation of this Turkish couplet is

“The entire enemy are scattered at this knife’s blow,
It takes revenge on the enemy like Zülfikar.”


zarbından bu bıçağın cümle düşman tar-ü mar
intikam alır düşmandan sanki misli zülfikar

There is a maker’s mark which reads “Ahmed”
