HI Ariel,

the scabbard looks right, but the hilt and forte look later and much cruder - I think a poor attempt at restoration.

Hi Ariel and Jose, i had requested some pics to the seller of the whole thing and if i can post them (i haven't the permission of the seller) you will see a short and poor of grace yataghan.

I don't like thatone... Even if it is antique (I think it is) it was renovated at some age and I really do not like the overall look.

Yes, the work from the original artisans and that of the later one are horribly mismatched.
