This pulwar sword arrived last week sporting an interesting heavy blade taking the form of the yelman style with an Inidan ricasso but without the t-spine. After a bit of cleaning the rust and grime, the cartouche showed some writing within the gold scrolls, possibly a maker signature or owner. I am asking if someone can make out the inscription for a translation please. The writing is very small so I can include more photos if needed.
Total length: approx. 32 inches. Blade length: approx. 27 inches Regards, -Geoff |

The inscription says
“Sulayman Safavi” This is referring to the Safavid Shah Sulayman (r. 1666-1694), an attribution not to be taken seriously |

Thank you Kwiatek for the translation! Does anybody have a guess of the date of this example? While the hilt is pretty standard and basic, the blade is very heavy, balanced, and of better quality than what I would normally come across on these pulwars.
