Thank you Zifir. I appreciate your help. I will try to take pitures of the other side of the sword. I think there may be more to translate, like a date or sword maker.

Here are the photos of the other areas of the Yatagan for translation as promised.
  I am wondering if the handle is marine ivory or elephant. I was told that if it has the tapioca pudding look it is marine.

It seems it will not be possible for me to read those words which I am missing in the inscription for the near future.
 So I will give you what I have so far.İlahi dilerim senden ....... (O God! I wish .......from you)  Bu ..... sahibine olsun mübarek (May this ......be blessed and propitious for its owner) the word that I could not read most probably referring to yatagan but no idea what that word is.  Amel-i Hasan (Swordmaker Hasan) I could recognize the number '88' here but no idea for the rest
