thanks!
I like it as well  the gold decoration on the blade is done in two ways, inlay and overlay, fittings silver, rayskin is probably later replacement, blade extremely light, laminated or kind of sham ... |

priori, it seems that this is not written in Arabic
might be in old Turkish or Farsi nevertheless - 1st "cartouche" (up) a word unknown in Arabic, follow by "ASLI AL" either "original" - 2nd "cartouche" "TALY KEL AMEL" the 2 last words ... no meaning in Arabic "AMEL" either "Made" - 3rd "cartouche" interjection "ALI YA" "YA ALI" either "Hi Ali" pretty sure that "Zefir" could be the right person to translate those 3 cartouches à + Dom |

Although Dom in his kindness pointed me as the "right" person, I don't have much to add to his concrete translation. Some of these Caucasian-Tartar words and names are totally foreign to me
