the first 2 posts intriged me and caused many questions...
first the dagger , bichaq:

it looks similar like an old one ; a priest’s dagger from time of First Serbian Uprising (14 February 1804, to 7 October 1813) but sadly with a terrible modern(?) repair ( between the 2 red arrows)

as for the yataghan, I did find a similar kind of scabbard, ownd by a collector from Romania, with floral design but without the 1878 inscription, and yet a more traditional one...

very interesting but I have no answer about the age on the bichaq and yataghan of post 1 and 2...left with too many questions.
Does any of you know more?
