ENGRAVED KASKARA BLADE

Help please ... your views on this one. It is 37'' long inc the tang and it has this overall engraved decoration. Any light shed on the script would be gratefully appreciated. It seems of good quality. Apologies re the pics but the blade was so pitted this is the best I could do.
