That is a beautifully photographed album but its content is severely lacking in terms of accuracy.
As to the "Black Sea Yatagan" per se, it is interesting that these weapons migrated about as they did, however this should not be taken as an indicator of origin.

More on this legend sword. This photo shows the Pontian ancestors of a Greek family, around 1900. Look the hilt

You can definitely see the curve of the blade and the pudgey scabbard, as well.
