[QUOTE=gp;289972]correction: Ottoman Janissars.  
 
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.
