I agree that it is from Balkans. Big white bone ears talks toward that option. As the colour of the hilt itself is not a 100% identificator of provenience is that the majority of white hilted yatagans come form Balkans.
Nice piece made in the first half of the 19th century. Looking at the koftgari I would say that it is not a Bosnia/Montenegro/Serbia piece, as koftgari is not typical for the area.
