I hope, that it is not Farsi.

Thanks! :-)

Hi Marius,

here is the quick reply from Egypt:

"The words not clear, but the second one is may be Mohamed, the first one not clear at all, but we can say glory of Mohamed, or cradle of Mohamed."

Hi,

I am not quite sure, indeed better pictures are needed, but I have a question.
Are the "scratches" on the blade really scratches or traces of engraving to resemble pattern welded steel?

Best regards, Helge

They are scratches from resharpening of the blade.

And I cannot fathom how even egraving with anything similar to what this blade shows could possibly make it look like pattern welded?!
