Very beautiful yataghan, congratulations. Per Astvatsaturian, based on the bolster, this would fall into the Istanbul type. Her classification system is not absolute and there are some mistakes, but given the overall quality of this piece, I can completely imagine that this was indeed produced in the Ottoman capital for a person of significance. His name and maybe even the name of the maker are likely in the two panels on the left side of the blade.
Regards, Teodor |
