Translation for Turkish Jade Kard/Bichaq Needed
Greetings folks!
I acquired a very nice Ottoman kard/bichaq. The scabbard is silver with a brass throat.
The blade is higher contrast wootz with gold koftgari inscription.
Regarding the hilt, it is dark green jade with a ruby stone in the end. Also the bolster appears to be cast gilt brass.
What I need is a translation of the inscription. I think it is a Quranic verse with the word "Allah" in it, but that is a guess. What is this truly saying?
Zukran in advance.
