Salaams Chregu!
The inscription on the first photo reads: نصر من الله و فتح قريب و بشر المؤمن ين 1377 Translation: "Victory from ALLAH and a conquest [coming] soon and give glad tiding to the believe rs 1377" Please note that this is a Qur'anic script...also note the word "believers" was divided between the 3rd and 4th lines. ...More to come! |

The second photo (featuring the pommel)...the inscription reads:
عمل شرلق بن ساكو 1377 Translation: "Made by Sherlock son of Saco 1377" The year 1377 AH refers to 1957 or 1958 CE. If the year was 1277 AH (which is still a possibility), then the corresponding date would be 1860 or 1861 CE. |

It seems that "Sherlock" (or "Sherloq") is a name of a city in Iran, but here it seems to be the name of the person who manufactured the sword.
As for the last inscription, the photo is upside down. Also a clearer photo would be desired for reading this last inscription. Thanks a lot in advance, Sir. Best regards, Ahmed Helal Hussein |

Although I've tried to read this last inscription, and have taken my time to read it...I'm sorry to say that I was unable to read it correctly; only guessing that maybe FAR from being correct. Sorry, but I've tried my best. Best regards, Ahmed Helal Hussein |

Not at all, Sir! I'm completely at your disposal, Sir, and I'll do my best with all members of this great site. Besides the last inscription (which I was unable to read), the language in which the inscriptions were written was the Arabic language. As for the place of production, I can't tell you anything for sure. It may have been Iran (though this is unlikely), but I really would give the vote to one of the Arab towns on the Persian Gulf. Remember that the date of manufacture precedes the date of the independence of Kuwait (1961), and that of the UAE (1971). I have seen many Arabs who spoke Persian very well, and had Persian names. Hope this helps, buddy! As ever, Ahmed Helal Hussein |
