Please, would it be possible for knowledgeable and experienced colleagues to try translating the inscription on the blade and converting the date into the Gregorian calendar?
Does anyone happen to have photographs of scabbards of this type of qama?

Martin, I think you need to show better pictures for a translation, with close ups of the writing and date.

It’s not possible at the moment. I’m working abroad and my collection is at home, so I’ll get back to it in the summer during my vacation.

I am sending enlarged details of the text – cropped sections from the original photograph – and would like to ask colleagues-forumites again for help with the translation and determining the corresponding Gregorian date...
