Turkish Dagger Translation Help

[TVV]

Thank you very much Jeff,
My Ottoman attribution was based on the hilt, made of one piece of walrus ivory, and overzealously cleaned. This of course does not mean that the blade could not be Indian.
My friend tried to do a light etch, but apaprently there was no clear pattern, although I am assuming he has not given up just yet. I did not think of the possibility that the blade may be imported into the Ottoman Empire.
Again, thank you very much for your reply.
Teodor
