19c Balkan Greco-Turkish Yataghan?
Possibly Bulgarian? Karakulak? Comments and any other info appreciated. Thanks.
The Auctioneer kept saying I was from UK and the other bidder was from Bulgaria. If he's one of our members, sorry, but . Sadly, no scabbard, blade appears rusty but not pitted. Tiny bit of tip gone. Unusual brass bolster/tunkou finger ring as part of the grip. Wood slab sides. 62 cm. overall. Will be doing a bit of cleaning & active rust/verdigris removal. Will post better pics after... |
