magnificant jambiya - translation needed

[A.alnakkas]

amazing piece, congratulations!

I couldnt read the first inscription fully but the first word is عمل which means: Work of.

the 2nd inscription reads صاحب سيد سلمان 1311 which means: owner Sayed Salman Date 1311 hijri which makes it a 19th century piece? think the 3 could be 2 but i'd leave it to someone with better eyes

Very nice Ottoman Jambiya with wootz blade. Congratulations! I think the date reads 1211, which is 18th Century (1796). however, this type is typical of mid/late 19th Century Balkan jambiya. Good luck restoring the tang, definitely worth the effort. Make sure not to overheat the blade!

Salam Aleikum "alnakkas"
the name of the blacksmith was might be Persian,
the second word is "brardroumi" and there is a sign illegible in Arabic

for the digit 2 and 3, me too, at beginning I was confused,
but almost of time we found the character is like in printing,
not in form writing
