Hi Dandi
thanks to care about me, but I have to inform you, that I'm a collector for "only" edged weapons

in the past, long time ago, I was having a collection for pistols/guns , but due to French regulations,
I got rid of that collection, and now I'm (small) collector for Islamic's edged weapons, even,
if I still yet be interested by pistols/revolvers/guns ... but I am careful not to be too much tempted

I limited myself, to edged weapons from the countries, where I worked, or visited,
and no more than two items per kind, and I try and stick to that rule
the book that I ordered, seems to me, more focused on edged weapons, hope so that I will be not too wrong

Hi Dom and Zifir,
I hope you had nice summer holidays.
I expected Zifir to visit me, but probably you haven't traveled trough Bulgaria.
I offer you below pictures of a sword, which belongs to my close friend and a colleague, to be discussed and to help me translate the inscription on it.
In my oppinion, as I look at the yataghan, it was made in Western Blkans, or more exactly, center Epirus. But I believe you will give me more precise translation. Looking forward to your translation.
Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards,
Dandi

Hello Dandi, I hope that you do not mind but I have added these in hopes of being of some help to the translators.
