Hi sfenoid,
Perhaps the owner upgraded the hilt and scabbard to silver when his social standing increased or he became more affluent/influential. Not uncommon in many cultures. |

Very similar: "this sword is like Zulfakar, when your enemies see it, they will flee" |

"this sword is like Zulfakar, when your enemies see it, they will flee" sounds like English. PS: Very nice Yataghan and to my eyes from the Balkans. |

It was copied without understanding what it should mean and with words missing,
probably by an illiterate artisan: [Darbından bu] bıçağın cümle düşman tar ü mar [İntikam alır] aduvvdan sanki misli zülfikar “[From its blow] this knife‘s enemies are scattered, [It takes revenge] upon the enemy like Zülfikar.” These are very common verses on yataghans |
