Dave,
The seal seems to read something along the same lines as most other Safavid blade seals, seems like Banda e shah e welaayat, and then some kings name.

Salaams Yes a lot of them have this odd Banda something ...

Awesome piece Dave. Not only a gorgeous sword, but so nice to find in such a complete state with all the accoutrements.

Super nice!
