Greetings
I had the gold inscriptions translated by an Ottoman Scholar. It is the Sword of an High Ranking Janissary Agha. The Agha of the Janissaries or Janissary Agha (Ottoman Turkish: یڭیچری أغاسی; Turkish: Yeniçeri ağası) was a top Ottoman military official and courtier, and the commander of the Janissary corps.[1] Apart from the commander-general of the entire corps, the title of "Agha of the Janissaries" was also borne by the commanders of provincial garrisons of Janissaries. The Poem is Incredible!! I knew the sword was cool but .... Included a picture of an Agha below. Next I need to research the Swords owner. Best Regards Rob P.S. The sword has been cleaned and preserved. |
