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.
