BUT what the inscription says? And please, tell me if I'm wrong.
The inscription says that the pala was made for an Ottoman governor, a wali, in Bosnia. But it is not written that the pala was made in Bosnia. Your pala looks like the Ottoman Turkish pala. IMHO

Best,
Kubur
I suspect this Pala is made by a local blacksmith.
His name is "Osman ibn al hac Mohammed "
Also, the blade is not wootz, but like the most Balkan Yatagan made from torrisons Damask.Also the inscriptions similar those of Yataganen.
