Micha

Thanks for the pics.

Do you have any information on the axes?

What would these axes have been called by the Turks / Ottomans (Balta / Nacak / Tirpan / Tabar / Teber)?????

I've been trying to find information / pics of Turkish axes without much luck.


There are more pics of arms and armour from Turkish museums located here:

Jus scroll down to the end of the page.

Hi Danny,

I am sorry but I don't have any information on these axes since i do not know that much about oriental axes ( yet ) and since I did not photograph the plates next to them.
Perhaps Hisham can help you there.

Great link by the way. Thanks! :)

Is Istanbul anywhere near Constantinople? :mad:


As close as you can get, and as far as you can get! (Hows that for an answer?)

Seriously, Istanbul is Constantinople;

Wasn't there some old song that made fun of how to get to Constantinople, which they played in the background in one part of Terry Jones's "The Crusades"?


Are you thinking of that song by "They Might Be Giants?"

Supposedly, the city of Byzantium is also pretty close by. :p Ha ha ha. Thanks for posting those wonderful pictures Micha! That sword of Stephan the Great is gorgeous. Every now and then, I stumble across a show on the History Channel that discusses Istanbul's "underground city" that is remarkably preserved. Cities of the underworld is the title, I believe. Do post more pics if you can! :D
