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!

Greetings from a Turkish reader and 'iyd mubarak to everyone,

For the first inscription I can add the beginning and the end,

AMEL-I AL HADJ MUSTAFA SAHEB WA MALEK HUSSEIN AGHA

MADE BY AL HADJ MUSTAFA OWNER HUSSEIN AGHA

The rest is:
"La feta ila Ali la seyf ila zulfikar"

There is no hero like Ali, no sword like zulfikar

"Yemliha, Mekselina, Mislina, Mernuş, Debernuş, Şazenuş, Kefeştatayuş, and Kıtmir." The names of the seven sleepers and their dog

and the date which Dom has already read.

Best,

Zifir

Zukran Zifir!

I was hoping you would chime in and help me/us.

I am indebted to both you and Dom - I bow in your presences!

Oh yes, forgot to mention that the blade is 26 inches (65 cm) long and the ivory ears are 4.5 inches (11.25 cm) across. Big sucker!
