			I am appealing again to our kind translators for help in deciphering the meaning of the inscription on this nice pala. I am attaching pictures of both sides, as they same different to me. Based on the type of weapon, most likely the language is Turkish. 
		
		
		
			Many thanks in advance, Teodor  |

			Let Dom answer this.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	All I can tell you is that the bottom right inscription has the word "Allah" in it, perhaps a bismallah.  |

	The pala is not mine, but belongs to a friend of mine, who acquired it in Bulgaria, unfortunately without a scabbard. Once again, many thanks, Teodor  |

			A year later, my friend must have been on Santa's nice list, as he has added another nice palate his collection. Can anyone help with a translation of the inscription?
