			Thanks, came with a Yataghan probably of Balkan origin so that would make some sense. Regards, Norman. |

			I believe this example was identified as Bosnian . All those fullers remind me a bit of Turkish work . |

			The fullering is characteristic for daggers from the town of Surmene in the Trabzon region in Turkey. If you search for Surmene in the forum, I am sure you will find a few threads with examples. Regards, Teodor |
