Beautiful Shamshir, It is Safavid ofcourse, the inscription on the balde reads ولایت سلطان شاه عباس welaayat e Sultan Shah 'Abaas - the maker has made the outline out of the word Sultan. the inscription on the sheet is part of a what usually would say نصر منا الله و فتح القریب it is something that one would find on many islamic weapons, which means victory comes from Allah and conquering (loose meaning) is close.
