Strange mark on tang

Dear All,

I found those markings on a late 17th century blate tang. Can anyone identify it?

Best regards
Andreas

The markings look like a very stylized version of Arabic. Could you post a pic of the entire blade so we have some sort of context?

Here are the images. It belongs to a late swiss sabre. Sadly it was opened.
