Hi napoleon. To my knowledge this is merely a decorative, scrolling motif, and not an inscription in any actual language. It certainly doesn't resemble any arabic-influenced scripts that I know of.

But maybe someone else on this forum is more knowledgeable and knows better than I.

Hello Napoleon,

It's a Moroccan sboula / shula dagger of better quality. Nice catch!
Like the others I also don't think that it is an inscription.

Regards,
Detlef
