Thank you for your comment. The patina gives the ivory a pretty color. Here are a couple closer shots of the handle.

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.

Yeah, i think it's walrus. Very rich patination!!!

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

I agree with Flavio, the grip is made of two pieces of walrus ivory.

Interesting to see the silver inlayed instead of koftgari. Not rare, but not as common as koftgari.
