Horn Handled Silver Mounted Yataghan HELP!!

Nice yataghan, and I agree with Ariel that it is Balkan. I think there is a date, but I cannot make it out. I can also see an "amale" in there, but no idea of what the name of the maker is. Some of these had damascus blades - you can try to do a small etch and who knows, you may turn out to be really lucky, especially if you managed to acquire the yataghan at a resonable price.
Regards,
Teodor
