Thank you! it is a unique variety with that type of handle and fuller. The scabbard is also very nice. I dont know why though the fuller is brass and the handle is silver, but both seem original to the blade. its very pretty though.. |

Hi sfenoid,
Perhaps the owner upgraded the hilt and scabbard to silver when his social standing increased or he became more affluent/influential. Not uncommon in many cultures. |

Очень похоже: "этот меч как Зульфакар, увидев его твои враги разбегутся" Very similar: "this sword is like Zulfakar, when your enemies see it, they will flee" |

I don't speak Russian either... but to me "this sword is like Zulfakar, when your enemies see it, they will flee" sounds like English.  PS: Very nice Yataghan and to my eyes from the Balkans. |

It was copied without understanding what it should mean and with words missing,
probably by an illiterate artisan: [Darbından bu] bıçağın cümle düşman tar ü mar [İntikam alır] aduvvdan sanki misli zülfikar “[From its blow] this knife‘s enemies are scattered, [It takes revenge] upon the enemy like Zülfikar.” These are very common verses on yataghans |
