Help with yatagans' inscriptions

Thank you very much Zifir,

This is very helpful. I have also seen the symbol one other yataghan blades, even though it is not a very common one. I did not know of its significance by now though. I gues if it is indeed a Bektashi symbol, this would simply mean that the owner or the maker (Halil) has some sort of a Janissary connection.

Hopefully, we will be able to learn more about the circles at some point.

Regards,
Teodor
