Dear fellow members,

I found this T-handled (Zeybek) yatagan, unfortunately it's missing an ear.
It was brown but cleand up rather easliy, and from under the rust some insriptions appeared. The year 1285 (1868) I get but for the rest of the text I have no clue what it says. Can someone read and translate this? Next to the year I wouldn't be surprised if it's the makers name, when holding the blade that is the left side. The right side has the longer text, from the looks of it only words and no numbers.

Thanks in advance!
Eric.
