Interestingly, in a very old, but very well researched concerning arms and armour movie "Grigorii Saakadze", Saakadze receives a yataghan from Abbas I as a symbol of Safavid's power. Movies are movies and one can find lots of strange stuff in them, but I did not see any obvious mistakes in this movie, however I have that a lot of weapons were copied from Janashia's museum collection.
It is interesting how the origins of kindjal and yataghan are so obscure.

Yes, Ahmet Tekelu, from the Kizilbashi federation.
Where can I get a disk or a tape of that movie?
BTW, anybody knows how to get an old Albanian movie "Skanderbeg"?
