Translation assistance on Ottoman shamshir

[RSWORD]

Kwiatek,

Thank you very much for the detailed translation. It provides valuable insight into the sword along with a new avenue of study. These verses were hidden away until now and I am most appreciative to have the opportunity to learn more about them.

A pleasure. It’s a very interesting and unusual inscription. It’s not impossible an educated Turk would have understood this sophisticated kind of Arabic, but I would have thought it pointed to an origin in the Arabic-speaking parts of the Ottoman Empire

Very interesting! Could it be made in Ottoman Syria? the brass crossguard and type of coftgari are indicative of it.

I am pretty sure the blade is Persian.
Now, when and where the inscription was made is another issue...
