Help In identifying sword and inscriptions

You have a very nice Balkan yataghan, and if I am reading the date correctly, it would be from 1863-64. These hilts of large walrus ivory slabs with rounded ears were popular throughout the area in the 19th century, but especially during the second half and in the Western Balkans.

Regards,
Teodor
