Default Translation Assistance for Moro Kris

The script could be Arabic or Kavi/Jawi?? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

This resembles the script inlaid on both sides of the forte of an eagle headed Piso Podang type sabre which I think comes from Northeast Borneo rather than Sumatera.

edit
pictures added.
Interestingly the script on both sides is connected via a small notch in the edge.
Not meaning to hijack this thread I just saw a resemblance.

Rick,

Do we have a picture of that piso podang on file here? Would be good to have one for comparison.
