Shamshir (yes you've guessed it No.3) translation request please

It seems that Shamshirs are like buses ....wait for one ....and then three arrive at the same time

Shamshir, no scabbard. Hilt slabs are made from a resin type substance....has anyone seen anything like it....and know what it is.

Gold inlaid cartouche with a lot of losses. Arabic script on the opposite side. Forged with some small 'cold shuts'.

Comments and a translation would, again be, much appreciated, thank you

Kind Regards David
