Hello Zefir,
Manouchehr who did the translation reads Farsi, it could well be as you suggest. Do you have an opinion about when this style of tugra is on a sword? I rather like you translation..... Another piece of the puzzle.
Would you please look at the inscription on the Early Islamic Sword thread, its on a very early Mamluk/Ottoman sword with two inscriptions.
Thank you Zefir,
