Yatagan for translation and comments

As it has two cartouches, I suspect that one contains some talismanic verses from the Quran, while the other may provide some information about the maker and/or the original owner. So I will keep trying to have them translated.

The seller (HH) mentioned the blade was dated with the year 1224 AH (1813) but I could not identify any numerals in the cartouches (not that I am very knowledgeable at this).

The first one:
The names of the Seven Sleepers and their dog. "Yemliha, Mekselina, Mislina, Mernuş, Debernuş, Şazenuş, Kefeştatayuş, and Kıtmir"

[Zifir]

The second one:
Sine-i Adaya ya Rab bu bıçağı kıl nişan,
Sahibine verme ya Rab ömrü oldukça zeval


Which can be roughly translated:
Let this knife be a sign on the bossom of the enemy
Don't let any harm come to the owner of this knife in his life

No dates on the cartouches by the way.

Best,

No date but great inscriptions.

As I said, I own this sword but it is not for sale. However, beautiful Yataghans show up regularly in European auctions. So just watch auction sites.

Occasionally you can buy them even on eBay.

Good hunting!
