Bosnian Bichaq

Thank you! The top 2 with the “open mouth” handle are very nice and I believe you outbid me in the auction as I do not have this type of Bosnian at all…

Congrats again!

The third one with Sarajevo inscribed on the scabbard looks like some of the Bosnian knives I have, based upon the decoration marking on the blade. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showpo...4&postcount=21
A very nice one but simple made; could be a local little maker at the country side or a non professional who still could make a little nice item and around 1900 perhaps 1910 even…

The last ( the one with the red dots) could also be from other Balkan countries or another region in the Ottoman empire. I do not dare to determine its origin….
