hi Battara
as well as all text aren't in Arabic, only translation done was, names and date, it's the best that we can do
assistance of a Turkish reader is requested for the other sentences

AL HADJ MUSTAFA SAHEB WA MALEK HUSSEIN either OWN BY AL HADJ (Pilgrim) MUSTAFA OWNER HUSSEIN (honestly, we don't understand exactly the meaning)

1289 either 1872

Thank you so much Dom.

I figured that the rest would be Turkish. I may have to take it to a Turkish restaurant, or possibly send the inscriptions to Indiana University for some translation if no one else can translate the Turkish.

Beautiful yat, Jose...

I know you had your eyes on a coral/ivory mounted example for some time - was it this particular one?

Battara · 14th November 2010, 04:24 AM

Well I had one I got for dirt about 15 years ago and sold it. Regretted it ever since. This one is the same type I wanted to replace, but it is bigger in blade and hilt size.

I have another in the works that I am paying off. I will post it when I get it (also wanted this other type for years but could not afford it).

Anyway, I saw this one on Cowan's and gave it a shot. Bullseye!
