I read a lot here about dervishes .... 
Question so I can better understand and learn what you do mean: 
  
which kind of Derwishes  are we talking about ?  
Sunni or Shia ? 
From which order ?  ( Halveti (Khalwatiyyah),  Bektashi , Naqshibandi, Qadiri and Rifa`Mevlevis, Bayramis, Melamis, Sa’dis, Jelvetis, Shazilis and Bedevis to name a few..), 
Or actually non-sufi related at all but the so-called western fancy named weapons  for the Ansar-like or Nizari warriors?
