Although the blade is of kilij form, note that it is in one of those Qajar-style all iron hilts and it may well be that the blade is of Persian rather than Ottoman origin. The inscription certainly bears this out, it reads " 'Abbas bandeh Shah-i-velayat ", ( 'Abbas, servant of the Ruler of the universe )
