Here's another yataghan-styled European hunting sword, this one bears an Italian-inscribed blade.

Thanks Dmitri for posting yet another fine yataghan style sword, this topic has certainly raised our interest in these unusual weapons. We are still curious regarding the hilt, as someone certainly went to a lot of trouble to make what is to our eyes a well crafted thing. Regards A & K

Hi Jeff, and thanks for posting the link to this thread!! Wow, four years ago, seems like a lifetime  Some good information indeed was discussed......I still think this piece more likely 19th century and though the style on some of the earlier 'Chinese' jian style guard hunting weapons in the earlier thread is seen, this example is far more workmanlike...the blade distinctly metal stock like without fullers or working that can be seen. It is interesting that some work was put into the yataghan style hilt, but was not applied to the other components. Still an interesting piece though Andy there must be some interesting history behind this, even though not as far back as the pandours....the reverse mounting of the blade notwithstanding. All best regards, Jim |
