Pala - translation on the blade

To me it looks Balkan, based on the brass scabbard furniture and the style of the inscriptions on the blade, which is very similar to what you find on Bosnian yataghans. But styles and decoration techniques traveled far and wide within the Ottoman Empire and it is hard to put them within specific borders.
