Large lantaka with Jawi script engraved

Please take a look at this thread that's been on an Ebay board for a few days. I just discovered this board and think members here may have more to add. I have sent digital pix of the script to the person suggested to see if he can have it translated. I am particularly interested in suggestions on the possible identities of "King Hadam" and "Mohammad Yousuf" which are the two names contained in the script, per preliminary translations by Arabic (not Jawi) speakers. I would ultimately like to know where this item was made. I acquired it in the Philippines many years ago, and the people who had it thought it came from Mindinao or thereabouts.
