I finished the restoration, and here's the result.
A friend who is an Arabic translator gave an interpretation of the text:
"The work of Abd al-A..." The rest is very illegible.
And perhaps the year 1240 AH = 1824-5.
The date is highly questionable; it's unrealistic for this jambiya.
A colleague from another forum determined the date to be 1371 AH = 1952-53.
