Pala Turkish (?) Inscription for Translation
I am appealing again to our kind translators for help in deciphering the meaning of the inscription on this nice pala. I am attaching pictures of both sides, as they same different to me. Based on the type of weapon, most likely the language is Turkish.
Many thanks in advance, Teodor |

Let Dom answer this.
All I can tell you is that the bottom right inscription has the word "Allah" in it, perhaps a bismallah. |

Thank you very much Dom,
The pala is not mine, but belongs to a friend of mine, who acquired it in Bulgaria, unfortunately without a scabbard. Once again, many thanks, Teodor |

A year later, my friend must have been on Santa's nice list, as he has added another nice palate his collection. Can anyone help with a translation of the inscription?
Thank you in advance, Teodor |
