Seeking information for a large beautiful (Qama?) sword.

[kizotov123]

Recently I have acquired a very beautiful sword (maybe Qama?), but cannot find any information about it.
It is a large antique sword (length 25"), silver handle, silver sheath (21 ounces), silver decorations - tested - with a steel blade engraved and filled-in with gold phrases from Quran, sheath and handle decorated with cut out phrases in Arabic, bone (walrus ivory?) and mother of purl on the handle and sheath.
I will be happy with any information experts can provide. If someone could translate the engravings on the sheath and the blade - I would greatly appreciate it.

ان المتقین فی جنات و نعیم The righteous will be in gardens and bliss. It is part of a verse from the Holy Qur'an. The scabbard has more written on it. Better pictures would help.

I will take better pictures and publish. I really appreciate your input!

Here are, I hope, readable pictures of the inscription

It is aayat (verse) 53 of Surat Az-Zummar (39th) from the Holy Qur'an.
Say: O my servants! who have acted extravagantly against their own soul, do not despair of the mercy of Allah; surely Allah forgives the faults altogether; surely He is the (Most) Forgiving the (Most) Merciful. " English translation of The Holy Qur'an by Shakir"
