Caucasian Shashka from Dagestan: Question

[JackBrown1900!]

Hello fellow collectors,

I had this Shashka for a while now. It's pretty big! Over 40 inches! But it's light. The owner must have been a big guy! Did some research on it and pretty much understand the sun and the moon/stars/sun symbolism and the use of European/German/Hungarian blades in the Caucasus. I do have a more difficult time reading the Persian or Arabic makers marks on the blades! If anyone can assist with translation that be great! I know it is probably the maker's name. But if the blade is European manufacture why did the bladesmith from the Caucasus put his marking/stamp on the blade (or maybe he just did the hilt, which most likely he did do! And that's why the mark). A while back someone suggested the translation is: WORK OF GHASI BABR(?). The blade is somewhat worn and has pitting but apparently, it's very well made because it gives out this loud ringing sound when I flick it:-) No scabbard, unfortunately:-(
