Hallo, this is an old possible pre-19th century shortened yataghan.

Hi Efhitis,
The inscription includes the names of the Seven Sleepers and their dog. "Yemliha, Mekselina, Mislina, Mernuş, Debernuş, Şazenuş, Kefeştatayuş, and Kıtmir." I cannot read the seal though. Best, Zifir |

Hi Zifir, and thank you very much for your help. I post for this also some better photos, just in case you can read the seal also.
