While the ears of the hilt are not the typical type for North Africa, this piece could very well be from Algeria. I am attaching a similar small yataghan sold by Oriental Arms that has an unmistakably North African hilt. The scabbards are very similar in construction and decoration. These weapons were probably made in the Balkans and exported to Algeria.
