Hi napoleon. To my knowledge this is merely a decorative, scrolling motif, and not an inscription in any actual language. It certainly doesn't resemble any arabic-influenced scripts that I know of.
But maybe someone else on this forum is more knowledgeable and knows better than I. |

Hello Napoleon,
It's a Moroccan sboula / shula dagger of better quality. Nice catch! Like the others I also don't think that it is an inscription. Regards, Detlef |
