You are absolutely right - Ottoman Janissaries.

I know very well how and from whom the Janissary corps was formed, I have enough knowledge and books on this topic.

At the beginning of the reign of Sultan Murad I (1959-1389), a new army was formed, which was called the Janissaries.

The question was different, that the yataghan was a non-combatant personal weapon, made to order. Therefore, there could be no regimental markings.
