dagger ID and translation

Hi Berber, if photographing doesnt work, you can also make a socalled rubbing; fix a paper on top of the blade and draw the hole paper (and knife)surface with pencil. The engraved marks will stand out to be darker than the rest. This way it MAY be easier to read!? Idea?
Although this is totally not my area of interest, it DOES seem to be a good antique dagger and -curious as I am- it will be fascinating to learn about its translation!
Good luck, Wouter
