Can not determine where this Yatagan Comes from ?
See decoration silver work?
Red color of the leather?

I'll tala stab at it (every pun intended ).

The Damascus steel pattern and type of hilt might indicate origins being from Turkey proper.

Ward, what would make this Algerian? - the size? Now that you say that, I think you may be right, but what characteristics point in this direction?
