Nice Indian Tulwar, and Help With Its Inscriptions

[CharlesS]

I only recently acquired this tulwar and after a good clean up it turned out quite nicely, with a lovely hilt, a very fine and beefy, heavy blade of consistent and quality wootz steel, fine koftgari down the entire spine, and an inscription near the forte. There also appears to be an inscription on the pommel cap in silver koftgari, but it is much less clear.

This is a very large and heavy sword at 40in. overall, with a 34in. blade.

The scabbard is newly made in the traditional style.

I am hoping I can get some assistance with the following:

1.Can anyone identify the hilt's artistic style, and the area of India it is likely from???

2.The inscription on the pommel cap seems more difficult than the inscription on the spine. Can I get any help with a translation???

3.Lastly, can anyone translate the inscription on the blade's spine???

Thanks for any and all assistance!
