To me this looks like a Turkish proper 19th century piece. Date will be better confirmed once some translates the Turkish in Arabic script. I will say though that I believe the Ottomans changed to Western Romanized script after 1928 under Kamal Ataturk.

Thanks Battara. Does anyone else have any further information? A translation of the script would be greatly appreciated!

The date is 1788, end of 18th c.
You should post a better photo of the inscription. Anyway it's a nice yataghan but not a master piece. I like the walrus grips. |

Thank you for the dating Kubur.
Yes kronckew, the scabbard is definitely not original. I appreciate the updated images. Any translations available out there? Thank you all for all the helpful information! |
