First of all,

Let me join the rest of the choire in expressing my gratitude for you sharing this sword with us. We do not get to see these every year.

As for the blade, perhaps it was originally Persian, and later decorated by those famour Armenian craftsmen from Lvov that got to enhance and assemble many of the imports to Poland from the East?

Best regards,
Teodor

Sorry about the slow reply. Work... you know.

I think the first cartouche reads "La fata ella Ali" or "There is no brave man but Ali"
The last cartouche I think is "Ya Ali Madad" or "Oh Ali with your help".

With out better pictures I agree with Teodor observations.

All the Best
Jeff
