Hi Dmitry

sorry to tell you that it's not an arabic mention ...
even if the alphabet, it's well arabic caracters

second matter, THANKS to everybody, when you wish to have a translation,
provide a good pictures, by
- using focus
- suitable lights to avoid shade secteur

back to the blade incription ... only four (4) words have been translated

I give in phonetic the 2 sentences, but without translation

if it's turkish language, may be our friend "Zifir" will be able to do something
but if it's in "Farsi" ... could be hopeless ...

on the pic, you have in the reading sens (right to left) the transcription
the 4 words translated (coze related to religion ... "Din")
DIN AL WA MELLAH AL
Believer in the Religion

Dom, thank you for the clarification. It's all Greek to me.
The language might be pushtu, because the sword is Afghani.
