gia sou efhitis,
The inscription in the first picture has the same formula (prayer) as one of the other yatagan inscriptions I translated. It is:
Ya Muhammed, Kıl şefa'at
Ümmetindir Osman
O Muhammed! Intercede on the day of Judgement on the behalf of Osman, who is one of your Ummah (community of believers).
The second inscription is:
Sene 1214 Amel el-hacc Mehmed Ömer, Sahib Osman Ağa
Year 1799-1800 Swordmaker Hacı Mehmed Ömer, Owner Osman Agha
Around the name of Osman Agha, there are two arrow like signs. I don't know if they mean anything other than having ornamental function.
