2nd pic, Work of Sharif, Owner Mohammad Shukri, year 1257
3rd pic, 2nd line, (No man like Ali and no sword like Zulfeqaar) on the scabbard, 1257.
I hope that is helpful, get a close up picture of the text and someone should be able to help with the rest.

Thanks for your help and the tip with a close up !
Regards
Kurt

Hi Sfenoid ,
You're right, the Yatagan with the silver inlay is from the same workshop
as mine.
