Horn Handled Silver Mounted Yataghan HELP!!

Hi,
Thanks for the replies. Could you elaborate with regard to etching. The decoration on the blade looks to be inlaid silver if the blade were etched would that mean that the decoration would blend into the background? Was the blade treated in any way originally to make the silver inlay stand out, some form of blueing etc? Does anyone have a good photo of a scabbard that would have been with a sword of this type?
Regards,
Norman.
