did the greeks have any unique arms during the period of ottoman rule/war of independence? or did they just use turkish styled weapons?

id like to know what kind of short swords/daggers the greeks are carrying here, or if the artist just took some liberties in painting weapons.

first time ive seen a greek with a shamshir.....
