I would agree that this is Ottoman. It could be in fact Balkan.

Battara is correct: it definitely is Balkan and a copper version of the Bosnian Bichaq.

This narrows the origin down to Serbian Also based upon similar copper cold weapons like the little women's daggers I would say Serbian and as well a Lady's knife. Timewise between 1870-1910.

Thanks for your comments.
The ottoman part of the Balkan sounds plausible, for example greek daggers have sometimes similar decoration elements.

Happy new year.
