I got the sword in and offer some more pictures. I have been told that the Arabic translates as “In the name of Allah the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful”

There is no English broad arrow or date associated with the Enfield mark. In fact the ENFIELD is rather poorly struck so that it looks more like ENFIELT.

In any case, it is really a solid and impressive sword.

Hi, the sword is wonderfull! However is clearly marked "ENFIELT" and not poorly marked "Enfield".
My guess is that is a locally made blade that marked as a european one in order to show quality and to be sold more expensive. Something like the case in this saudi saif sword that is made in... "Egland"(!)
