English Sword with Arabic Inscription

[Sakhti777]

Mykeris,
I got very strong feeling, this sword belonged the Malay world , let me guess, the Federated Malay States during British rule over Malaya or if not earlier. It is unfortunate I could not see clearly the Islamic incription on the emblem , but I guess this emblem most probably representing one of the older states of the Malay Peninsular at that moment. May be Kelantan or Perak. If this is so, you must be damn lucky owning this sword that has some history in it.However, I am a bit curious regarding the writings or forms forged onthe blade, could be better if sword specialist from the English world authenticate the two animal forms on the blade. If these forms proven English, most likely this sword was custom made and presented by the British government to the owner residing in the Malay peninsular. Very interesting sword that tells history.
