You were correct and Teodor’s comment was spot on.
This Yataghans are unusually long, their blades are crude-ish, relatively narrow, T-spined, curved ( not recurved), and they have integral bolsters: all the features of a Zeibek origin. I do not seem to remember a Zeibek yataghan with a Damascus blade of any kind, including the “Turkish ribbon”. But Teodor must have had something in mind and I learned not to ignore his thoughts;-)
