Default 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.
