Looks arabic to me. You better post pictures of the complete sword. Maybe one of the forumites will translate it for you. But the reward for a translation is pictures of the complete sword

Could it be Turkish (which at an earlier time used Arabic script)? Towards the end of the empire they also used western style swords.
