Great work Abdullatif, thank you

Do you think the date relates to an event such as a battle ...or when the sword was made ...or 'something else' ?

9th of Rajab, Year 1218 is (approx) Tuesday 25 October 1803 C.E.
9th of Rajab, Year 1318 is (approx) Friday 2 November 1900 C.E

The possible Sufi reference is very interesting ....with the mention of Iman Ali can I assume that this sword originated in a Shi'a muslim community/country ?

Kind Regards David
