Assistance requested for the translation of inscriptions on an old yataghan

Hi Teodor,

Thank you for the translation assistance... So what year does that translate to as per the Islamic / Hijri calendar?

With regards to the blade, I think you are correct, and can pick up hints as such when I inspect it closely. Truth be told, following the suggestions I've read elsewhere on the forum, I've had limited success when attempting to etch my blades... This one seems to have been treated with Ren Wax or something similar, and I'm not too hip to upset the apple cart... It's faired well in the time it's been in my possession, and I'd hate to inadvertently reintroduce any corrosion process.

Cheers,

Chris
