Turkish Kabalak at West Coast Show

This particular Kabalak was at the West Coast Historical Militaria Show last week. It was $1200 and the seller said the stamp inside is a French movie/stage prop house but said that he still thought it was real as it had a wicker frame inside. I am of the opinion that perhaps it is a movie prop - possibly for a black and white movie. The red trim would appear very dark on screen.

I know absolutely nothing about Turkish items, but you clearly know your stuff! Great website.

I sort of remember seeing this one, or one very much like it, that was for sale from a British dealer a few years ago. The story was/is that this is real but then "shockingly" was bought by a film prop company - hence the stamp inside. :o

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.
