Excellent catch Emanuel!
It would have taken a tremendous amount of work to produce a blade like that!!
Well worth the effort of restoring. I look forward to seeing it finsihed.
I'd hope one day to find a pattern welded Ottoman Yat and Kilıç to sit with my 'starry night' Kindjal.
Congrats

This is the same one that's in the swap forum?

It is written "Selanik" (Salonica,Thessaloniki whichever you like) in the cartouche.

Thanks folks.
Interesting, that would make this a Greek yataghan not Anatolian as I thought.

Fearn, as I replied in the swap thread, I had initially posted in the wrong forum. The yataghan is certainly not for sale/swap
