Hi,

I can take this one too.
With these yatagan ears, all the members will tell you that it might be from the Balkans.
Well with this "sword" stamp, I can tell you that your knife is from Sarajevo.
Very late 19th or even early 20th c.

Yes, I am in agreement with Kubur!

Thank you for the answers!Indeed, this was my assumption,but the style of ears is atypical for Bosnian knife makers To admit, for the first time, I see a handle without any decoration.

Well maybe your grip is made of ivory, more valuable without inlays
and the other Bosnian knives are made of bone less valuable with inlays as a kind of upgrade...

I too am in agreement.
