It is a yataghan from Turkey. The writing is osmanic turkish. Unfortunately I can't translate it.

But I think you bought a nice old piece. Congrats!!

To me personally it looks Balkan due to the big ears and the brass fittings style.

Well, I'm just a newbie... Now when I look at it, I don't think Trabzon, but more like central/southern Turkey... I really don't know what I'm saying, I suck at yataghans
