Dom,

Thanks so very much. So you think it's Turkish(in the Arabic script)??

I am pretty sure it's Turkish. Here is a link to one I picked up a few years ago. Notice the similarity in blade and scabbard construction even the pattern welding is the same.

Hi Charles
definitively, the mention it's wrote in Turkish language

as far as this language has a common trunk, with Arabic language
an Arabic speaker may translate a part, nevertheless, some words are unknown

The flat silver fittings, pics of carnations and the mechanical damascus would point to the Ottomans. And, I just wonder, if Sarebo might be Sarajevo.
