Question Please help me with translation

Dear All!
Here are some pics of wootz blade, badly damaged because with pitholes of old and removed rust. It is broken twice: the tip is lost and the second break is build up with metal grip. On both sides you can find eastern inscriptions: one is going along back of the blade is quite long, that's why I had to cut the picture into the pieces, 1st one is near the hilt, the last one is near the lost tip. On the second side there are cartouches with inscriptions. If someone is able to read it and traslate, even partially, I would be obliged.
History: this blade is most probably one of the trophies from Vienna in 1683 or from Pereryta, todays Moldova, where Polish king and triuphator from Vienna, Jan III Sobieski, gained his last in his life victory on Turkish army.
Thank you in advance!
