I think it's a kind of Hungarian palash clearly with an Ottoman influence as you said.

It's not Hungarian. Appears from the images to be Caucasian; please post closeups of the niello work on each mount and an example of the silver marks and we'll be able to nail it down

Oliver may have a point: grips widening toward the crossguard indeed look Caucasian. Niello was done in Turkey, Iran, Greece....

He is correct, however: the markings (if any) may be hugely informative. Let's wait for the customs:-)
