most of these above cold weapons were used when Habsburg after the Congres of Berlin occupied Bosnia in 1878 and caused a severe resurrection with many lives lost at both sides. This fierce fighting of the Bosniaks later caused the Austrians to create 4 infantery regiments in 1882 AKA Bosniaken or Bosnische=Herzegowinische Infanterie Regimente I - IV.

Enclosed pics of the fighting in Sarajevo by their leader Salih Vilajetovic AKA Hadzi Loja.

FYI: the bridge in the last picture was called after 1878 Latin Bridge by the Austrians, after 1918 its name became Princip Most (= Princip Bridge, after Gavrilo Princip) and is now called Latin Bridge again.
