Yataghan: a Magic Word

Personally I think you are being sensible, as if that is possible collecting junk weapons, and right. The handle is not right. Could have an Abyssinian look? is that a copy of a bishops head or something else?

It looks like it was put together in someones garage certainly not worth the end price

like it was said in an earlier thread, people have a lot of disposable income these days for sword collecting. its pushing the cost up artificially for real items due to lesser items jumping up in price. but demand fuels supply. i dread the day when chinese made 'yataghans' start flooding the market.

Here is a real Peter Munich mark, the e-bay one isn't even close.

Hello,

I would have to agree with Ariel on this one. The wood seems quite recent, but the blade, although not an original Solingen blade, does not seem either. Probably a Caucasian imitation as you said. Of course, I wouldnt pay half the end price on such a piece, although the blade could be fun to start a project with
