I dont read arabic but the text in the circles dont look like it to me. If the maker was illiterate they may just have written something that to them look like an arabic text. I have had some balkan pistols with this kind of gibberish text one them.

for those who can read Arabic, during the Ottoman Empire the scripture was Arabic ....obviously, but as for the Balkans (specially the former Yu(goslavia; Bosnia, Serbia, Herzegovina, Montenegro and partially Makedonia) again the Slavic language had its own way on the writting as the enclosed shows. Still due to illiteracy but also trying to "fancy up"a weapon, some indeed used their fantasy and just did write something or nonsensicle
