Help please ... your views on this one. It is 37'' long inc the tang and it has this overall engraved decoration. Any light shed on the script would be gratefully appreciated. It seems of good quality. Apologies re the pics but the blade was so pitted this is the best I could do.

The script is Thuluth, apparently notoriously difficult to read. Several threads in the past here might make interesting reading:
