Of course on the picture supposed to be Muhammad, not Muhhamad.

Mr Jens Nordlunde, I saw Mrs Feurbach here on forum, and also found her facebook page about Yataghans

I think about writing to her, but at this moment my brain is gonna explode because of so many information in extraordinary languages :P

I may say that i did some lab tests, and I found out that:

1st yataghan (bigger, with complete hilt): the "golden" letters, and rivets are made in brass, and the floral ornament at the hilt is silver.

2nd yataghan (incomplete hilt): letters are silver (oxidised to black), hilt has coral of course, brass rivets, and copper "ribbon" with rosettes. The braid is also copper, the same is filigran ornament, but the colour is rather more "brassy" with substantial addition of arsen.

Greetings!
