Any photos of the entire sword, including the blade?
While nicely decorated, my impression of just the hilt is that it's so clean that it looks recently manufactured.

It is Turkish. No earlier than late 19th century, early 20th.

I think it was a kind of officers sword in Ottoman army, but for certain rank/corps.
