 don't be disappointed, have a little patience. I am sure that you will get comments soon by your nice yat. It is not my area of collecting so I let others do the first step! Regards, Detlef  |

			Kurt,  
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	That is a very nice yataghan, and very well preserved. I held off on translating it, since I don't know Turkish and the text is a bit far away. but here are what I can help you with: 2nd pic, Work of Sharif, Owner Mohammad Shukri, year 1257 3rd pic, 2nd line, (No man like Ali and no sword like Zulfeqaar) on the scabbard, 1257. I hope that is helpful, get a close up picture of the text and someone should be able to help with the rest.  |

 You're right, the Yatagan with the silver inlay is from the same workshop as mine. Kurt  |

			Hello Kurt, 
		
		
		
			The yataghan bellow is in the collection of Historical and folk art museum of Rethymnon, in Crete. It was donated by a Cretan chieften that aquired it as a war trophy. It must be of the same maker! The silver scabbard was made in Crete by the last owner, so is not original of the sword!  |
