Hello Jim,

The legible half reads as:
'Shri Dayal (Ji) Sairam (Das) Ji' which could be a name of the sword maker or owner. Dayal is a common North Indian Surname. While Sairam is actually the name of a God but also used as names of countless Hindus all over.

Since the koftgari in the second half has peeled off I cannot connect the words and so any translation would be meaningless.
