The hilt and scabbard fittings are deffinitely Ottoman and to me they appear to be in a style, typical of the second half of the 19th century. One can find similar examples from the Crimean War and The Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878. The blade however is more interesting and it could be older. I have seen captured Ottoman swords from the War of 1877-1878 with noce, older blades.
