...thanks, do you recognize the script/language? Also I notice that the blade has been pierced - evidence of an earlier hilt with blade supports maybe. Is the blade Indian or foreign, do you think?

On closer examination it's a stamp, identical on both sides of the blade which is very light and flexible - quite similar to a 1796 Light Cavalry sabre in some respects.

better I dunno
but it's easy, any way ... Ward did half of the job

first line from right to left
- Allah
- a sign that "Jens Nordlunde" took as number 4 .. but it's just like "&"
- Muhammad

the repetition of 3 design are just ...... nothing ( sorry Ward )
