Persian sword?

A few questions about this sword. Not my sort of thing but elements interest me. Can it be confirmed that the script is nonsense? I could have a suspicion that this sword could be pre Soviet Kazakhstan which would be 20th century. The form and importance of leopard iconography fits with a very late 20th century sword colleagues and I made for the then new Kazakhstan parliament. The leopard was stressed as most important. There is something about the sensitivity of the leopard motif and more that makes me question the Indian fakery assumptions.
