Hello Zifir,
Thanks for identifying the ranks and dress! I have just started reading about janissaries and they're quite fascinating. I've seen and handled two yataghan this week and now I really want one, many in fact.
Just to clarify one thing: the famous janissary scimitars idealised by Europeans were in fact kilic right?
If these drawings show 18th-19th century dress, are there any records that show earlier costumes?
