Got lucky this time. I was the loosing bidder but the winner didn't make the payment so the auction house sold it to me.

Once again a very nice yatagan with intact inscription. I looked all over trying to find a similar one but no luck so far, the monster head on the sabbard tip says Balkans to me but were exactly is the question.

I think that without a clear written location or smith's signature, it is close to impossible to accurately locate the place of manufacture since many manufacturing centers shared the same know-how and tradition and smiths and skills traveled frequently from center to center within the Ottoman Empire.

Still no translation?
