Need help in Translation

thanks kino!
David, it's an unusual one, alright. as far as age, i believe it's an older piece. what i like about it, is the blade. it's hard to assess based on the picture, but it's actually a variation of the saber kris. although the blade does not have the relatively typical shape where the lower blade edge sweeps to meet the upper edge, it just feel like a saber, meaning, when i swing it side to side, you can feel the blade sway. yes, it's that thin. also it would explain why the curve of the blade goes the opposite way.
i know we discussed about restoration vs. recreation; i think this is one of those where i can add the asang2x safely, then re-wrap the handle.
if i can get the script translated, it might help where the blade is originally from.
