Wow...lots of great information. Thanks TVV.

I have one question though. You mentioned: "Christians were not allowed to carry arms". But Montenegro is the only known country that has ever required every able male in their country to carry a revolver. I am not sure about yataghans but given that I would think swords would be permitted if guns were.

Attached is an interesting document for those interested in some Montenegrin Revolver history.

I find all this knowledge of yatagans from the Montenegrin/Balkan area interesting. If their is any other information I would be highly interested in reading it.

I purchased a book on ebay about Yatagans but I havent had much time to read it: HERE

And heres the article:
