An Afghan 'Shashka' for comment and help with translation

[GePi]

The maker's cartouche to me reads amal-e mesr i.e. made in Egypt
I think it should rather read amal-e mesri, invoking the famous Mamluk swordsmith, but I really do not see an i at the end.

The cartouche on the other side is a bit hard too read, but I am sure it is the common'Nasrum Min allaahi Wa Fathun Qareeb' i.e. help from god and a speedy victory.
