Silver Yatagan from Balkans
A Balkan yatagan exported to Russia? Is that what "AR 84" means? A translation of its blade would also be welcome.

AR 84 is the Russian mark for 84 zolotniki , indicating silver .875 fine (sterling is .925) so sub-sterling value.

I can't translate the text, but the seal of Salomon shows the names of the seven sleepers of Ephesus und their dog. It is a very common decoration on blades of the Ottoman Empire.
