Hi my Friends ....
where did you got that sword could be Christian
when you'll discovered the owner name, sure he never got a baptem sacrement
more surely, been a good "Hadj" ... LOL
the date also, I am not formal, still yet the risk of error between 2 and 3
as I already explained
the owner name, the title (not an high ranked Gouvernemental employee), and the forma, are very turkish
translation;
"Owner Saïd Hussein Effendi"
the long sentence it's again a poem glorifying swords in general and "Zulfikar" in particular (double blade sword)
nice stamp and clear sign for the "blacksmith"
Ali Ben Mohamed
by the way, ... your (!) fish, could looks also the "Nile key"
otherwise, beautiful yatagan
