Default Question about "scimitars"

Hello I am new in this forum. I am interested were there any "scimitar" like swords used in Islamicate worls thriugh history. By scimitar I am talking about the type of curved sword stereotypical in movies and video games for middle easterners. I heard about it being a fictional sword because western Europeans allegedly draw it falsely during the crusades, but I have seen quite a few miniatures from Islamicate world were the warriors/soldiers are using a "stereotypical scimitar". So I am interested is there any proof for such a sword in Islamicate world, or are those just badly drawnk Kilijes.







Also I saw this Indian sword that kinda looks like the stereotypical scimitar, what do you think? Are there any more?
