Salaams Chregu!
The inscription on the first photo reads: نصر من الله و فتح قريب و بشر المؤمن ين 1377 Translation: "Victory from ALLAH and a conquest [coming] soon and give glad tiding to the believe rs 1377" Please note that this is a Qur'anic script...also note the word "believers" was divided between the 3rd and 4th lines. ...More to come! |

The second photo (featuring the pommel)...the inscription reads:
عمل شرلق بن ساكو 1377 Translation: "Made by Sherlock son of Saco 1377" The year 1377 AH refers to 1957 or 1958 CE. If the year was 1277 AH (which is still a possibility), then the corresponding date would be 1860 or 1861 CE. |

It's " glad tidings" with an "s" in the end of the word. |

It seems that "Sherlock" (or "Sherloq") is a name of a city in Iran, but here it seems to be the name of the person who manufactured the sword.
As for the last inscription, the photo is upside down. Also a clearer photo would be desired for reading this last inscription. Thanks a lot in advance, Sir. Best regards, Ahmed Helal Hussein |

Although I've tried to read this last inscription, and have taken my time to read it...I'm sorry to say that I was unable to read it correctly; only guessing that maybe FAR from being correct. Sorry, but I've tried my best. Best regards, Ahmed Helal Hussein |
