Unfortunately, I can only read the date = 1226 = 1820/1821 ?
Can anyone help with the rest of the inscription?
Interesting would be the taking of the blacksmith .

Hello Kurt,

don't be disapointed and angry, I've noticed your beautiful kilij but since it don't fall under the swords I am interested on and can't read the inscription I don't comment. It's not the first thread which don't received first not many comments but become later a free runner.

I am sure that this beauty will get many attention.

Best regards,
Detlef

Kurt,
Please, do not get offended. We are talking only about 2 days delay.
It is a very nice kilij, Battara is correct, and I join him.
I seem to get a hint of wootz; am I correct?
BTW, the date is 1236.

You're right I made a mistake.
The correct date is 1236 =1821
Blade is wootz. Must be etched.

Kurt,

Don't leave us! This place probably has a high percentage of the people world-wide that have an interest in ethnographic arms collecting! It is a small but high quality group and every member is valued.

The Ottoman kilij looks great. I wonder if some of the experts on the forum can comment on the almost pristine gold work. Almost too perfect. Any thoughts?
