Historical Background:
The yatagan is an Ottoman sword-saber that was widely used in the 16th-19th centuries not only in the Ottoman Empire, but also in related regions such as the Balkans, the Caucasus, the Black Sea region and the Middle East. This type of weapon is characterized by a curved, broad blade without a guard, which made it versatile for chopping, stabbing and cutting. Yatagans became especially popular among the Ottoman Janissaries, the elite warriors who were the empire’s main striking force.
Initially, the Janissaries were armed with sabers, bows and arrows. The Janissary army always included a company of “taalim-khanejilary”, a school where soldiers were trained in archery.
However, over time, the bow and arrow gave way to firearms. As Marsilli notes, the Turks adopted the use of these weapons from the Europeans, and they became particularly active in the last third of the 16th century.
This change in weaponry reflects the adaptability of the Janissaries, who quickly adopted the latest military developments of the time, which allowed them to maintain their elite position in the Ottoman army.
Tugra on a yatagan is a special sign, a symbolic signature of the sultan or a high-ranking military commander, indicating that the weapon belongs to the Janissary Corps.
The tugra was made in the form of an exquisite ornament, emphasizing not only the skill but also the status of its owner. The presence of such tugra makes this yatagan especially valuable for historians and collectors.
Ottoman Empire troops, particularly the Janissaries, used yatagans in numerous battles throughout Europe, the Balkans and the Middle East. The weapon was highly effective and durable, making it the primary choice for infantry.
In addition, this yatagan has a special value for Ukrainian collectors. After all, there were Ukrainians among the Janissaries, who were famous for their bravery and skill. This rare piece can become not just a part of your collection, but a true symbol of Ukraine’s military heritage and history.
