Default Pesh Kabz

Hello Everyone, I thought you might like to see this what I think is a rather posh Indian Pesh Kabz. The hilt is rock crystal having a carved rams head pommel and decorated with red and green gem stones and gold wire to form the shape of flowers. The blade is decorated with gold and has a cartouche on each side with inscriptions. the flange on the back of the blade is also decorated in gold.
The scabbard is of wood covered with velvet and with gold chape and locket engraved with foliage and animals.
The overall length is 13 ins with a blade length of 8.25 ins x 1.5 ins wide at the shoulder. I would be grateful if anyone can translate the inscriptions in the cartouches. Thanking you in anticipation.
Regards
Miguel
