Nice piece, Damian.
Is the grip made of horn? Wonder why the experts don't have a say in the translation  .Fernando |

The top line in the cartouche under the guard reads, Assistance from Allah and vicrtory is near. Put some closeups, can't make anything out of the rest.

Hi "Husar"
first comments, - reasonably, we might consider your shamshir as Egyptian - the swordsmith, in his mark, gave his title, typically Egyptian - pity that some inlay are erased, or under the guard ... due to that, the translation is partly done the rectangular cartouche; 1st lign; qari Fath Allah menne Nasr either Victory from God and an Imminent Conquest 2nd lign; momenime all ????? (under the guard) either ????? the Beleivers 3rd lign; sorry, but didn't found the sens of the sentence, no translation à + Dom |

now, the explanation about the affirmation of the sword provenance; Egypt
the second cartouche is the mark of the swordsmith 1st lign; too much damages with the inlay, no translation ... sorry 2nd lign; Osta al Amal either made by the "Master" (Osta, is an Egyptian title, title not used by other countries) 3rd lign; Hassan (not easy to read it ... )4th lign; Mustafa 5th lign; Allah à + Dom |
