Amazing. Such lovely rare pieces. Is it far fetched to assume that those are persian trade blades?

Honestly, I do not know about the blades, though the quality of the wootz is certainly Persian. The blade style though is quite Ottoman, and typical to lots of yats.

What made me think its persian made for the turkish market is how similar the fullering and decoration to the ones done on persian made palas. Will try to find examples to share!

Am I right in noticing that the first piece is more Turkish than Balkan?

The second one looks Indian to me based on incised metal both on the blade and the handle.

There are numerous Turkish Kilij/Pala with this same handle aspect/design seen along the the spine including the raised ridge. This Georgian sabre below also shares the same designs along the spine. Both very nice pieces Charles, congrats and thanks for sharing. Gav |
