Certainly from the Ottoman Empire.
You’re very welcome. Is nice to see an inscription of this kind I haven’t seen before. Thanks for posting |

As I found signs of wootz, I suspected that it was made in Turkey because I am not aware of Balkan smiths working wootz. Now, the verses of an original Turkish poem seem to confirm my supposition, since if it were made in the Balkanns would have one of the more commonly used texts. But this is only my rather far fetched speculation, as it is almost impossible to establish with certainty where it was made. Thank you once again for your help! PS: I have many Ottoman bldes and most likely i'll seek you help again.

I don’t think the poems can tell you whether it was made in Anatolia or the Balkans. Turkish poetry would have been read and understood by officers and dignitaries all over the Balkans, Aegean and Anatolia in this period

And also Turkish smiths may have travelled and worked in the Balkans. So, nothing certain. But it is a lovely piece!

Because it's full silver work some members will tell you that this Yat is Greek.
But Kubur in his infinite wisdom will tell you that this Yat is Ottoman Turkish. Amen |
