Arabic/naskhi engraved on medieval sword ? .
Who could help me with those inscriptions ?,
This sword around 1500-1550 with brass hilt have , older medieval blade and later replaced grip. The sword seems to had been made unusable ( quillons and edges broken)probably after a lost bataille. The hilt, with inscription. Could it be Arabic/naskhi characters engraved on the hilt ? It will confirm the hypothesis that this sword was captured and destroyed by Ottoman Any comment on it will be welcome |

Salaams Cerjak.. This looks like an amazing sword...The inscription does not seem to be in any Arabic caligraphy style save possibly some sort of Armoury mark. I would float this on the European. Regards, Ibrahiim al Balooshi. |

The blade looks amazingly like Sudanese kaskara.
