Yatagan with questions

[Jerry H.]

Dear forum members,

I’m quite unsure with this thing. Blade looks old, handle repaired, but is it a marriage of parts?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Jerry

It's certainly an interesting piece.
These were in use for centuries, so I would think that an old blade has been remounted.
It would be interesting to see what patterns a light etch brings out in the steel of the blade.

Gene, thanks a lot. I’ll try to get it.

Can we see a picture of the whole sword Jerry?

... sorry, that’s all what I have at the moment. Trying to get the piece.
