 Impressive piece with this combi of hilt shape, floral decoration, inlays (although gone) and the inscription. I wish we could date this one.
I assume you meanwhile used the searchfunction on this website.
if you just search on "sikin" you will find many threads.
Here is a very nice one with very rare shape and decorations.
