Greek/Turkish kindjal translation request

A barebones kindjal with the characteristic arabesque decoration and Greek script often found on Greek weapons. Along with the Greek script and a date of 1910 is some Arabic script and what is probably a date in Arabic numerals. I would assume this is probably a name or possibly a commemoration of a significant event, it doesn't look like the typical poems or witty sayings you normally find on Greek edged weapons.

Hi, in Greek script is written the name of the city this dagger was made, and the date which is 16th of September 1910, in Kydonies-Aivali. Both names the Greek and the Turkish are written, of the town of Ayvalik in Asia Minor.
