Armenian from Moks region
Bit hard to see, but he has a Khanjar dagger and a curved saber. From what I have been able to tell the swords used in the very easternmost part of the Ottoman Empire by Armenians and Kurds were more similar to Persian Shamshirs or Transcaucasian/Georgian Khmali sabers than to the classic Turkish Kilic. The Yatagan was also not widely used there. |

Armenian warriors from Karabakh. In the Caucasus, it is customary to depict the dead and their weapons on their headstone.
First two from circa 1840s, last is from the end of the 19th century. |
