On another note, the lithograph below is attributed to Prince Grigory Grigorievich Gagarin and supposedly dated 1839.

I've tried tracking down the original publication by the French publisher Roger & Cie. but no luck. This would make it the earliest dated illustration of Zeibek costume and gear and would push much further back the dates of these yataghan. Gagarin dies in 1893 so that would make a more plausible date
