interesting piece. Like Stu I think the piece is put together. If you can post better photos I will be able to translate. Already done with half :-)

This type of dagger usually comes with "Baqatyan" name, a maker whose descendants still work in the business and make items in the same style.

Thank you for your kind comment. I really like this piece myself I think the knife maker created a perfect balance matching that handle with that blade.

Hello Mr A.alnakkas and thank you so much for your comments and info. I have taken some more photos of the script and really hope that they are clear enough for you to complete your translation for which I will be most grateful. I have also included a photo of inside the throat of the scabbard.
Regards
Miguel
