Ok to get this right, you are actually debating that its Mursi and not Mousa? Obviously you cant tell the difference between و and ر . As mentioned Ahmed bin Mousa is not just a random name that is found on some jambiya. It is a name known to those who collect and wear this style of khanjar and to Arab swords. Almousa house a well known house of silverworkers. Ahmed being the older generation he used "bin Mousa" (son of Mousa)
You are debating and basing an argument on something you cannot even read. This is like reading a famous Persian inscription wrongly and claiming its Indian. At least try to learn the language or refer to dedicated people who are efficient in reading the script.
I don't know who translated this inscription to Gavin, I remember translating things for him before. But no Arab or anyone familiar with Arabic would confuse و with ر and the pictures are clear enough.
