Here is a picture, courtesy of Tatiana Dianova, from the Turkish room in Dresden. The problem with the Dresden collection is that not all of it originates from items captures during the Second Siege of Vienna, however those two particular yataghans look quite early, and in some ways are closer to the 16th century examples (Suleyman's yataghans, Herzeg Khan's yataghan from the Furusiyya collection) than to 19th century examples.
