Eric,
The writing is in Bulgarian. Съ Нами Богъ means God With Us, and on the other side the inscription За Заслуга means For Merit. The ЗОФ abbreviation stands for Златоустовскя Оружейная Фабрика or Zlatoust Weapon Factory in Russian.
Unfortunately, my first impression from the pictures is that the item is not genuine, but a modern replica, intended for reenactors.
Regards,
Teodor
