Thanks!
Hi Dmitry
you read well the date "1121 (if Hegire)" either "± 1709 AD"
I will not advance a real date, at evidence this date is pure fantasy
to give an idea, the word "prestige" in English or French (the same)
is translated in Arabic ... as ... "PRESTIGE" in Arabic text
I think that we are facing as reference, a "prestige date",
more than, a date for the yatagan's creation

the sentences, a part a citation readable in Arabic, the others should be in Turkish,
because, not possible to be played in Arabic

"ALLAH RASOUL" either "GOD'S PROPHET "under-meaning; "Mohamed" who is the last God's Prophet"
I hope so that Zifir could have the key of the translation,
but it's not with a "muftar" (key in Arabic)
