Arabic/Farsi(?) translation needed

This must be a Turkish trench art from early republic era (1920s) . A hilt with sculpture of a commander (could be of Ataturk,but doesnt look like him satisfactory enough to be sure),wearing the classical nationalist symbolic hat "kalpak" of the resistance/revolutionary war years against invasions&occupations on Turkey following defeat in WW1. Date is clear:1341, which equals to 1925. The blade is Turkish for sure without any doubt, very similar to qamas produced in Afyon till 1940s. The blade's fullers are chiselled,and has the date 1929.But it was a symbolic costume in Azerbaijan too,where era and meaning was same with Turkey. I say it, because somebody said the writings were looking more like Farsi alphabet,and such hilts were popular there. The scabbard looks like a bayonet sheath converted to fit the blade and hilt. Can anyone please translate the inscriptions or at least convert to Latin alphabet?
regards

Thank you very much.Helped to get everything clear enough.A Turkish trench art of 1920s. What you say about "Gazi" is correct too.It means the head represents Mustafa Kemal Ataturk for sure after this translation.

Thank you bj ! :D
Would you suppose it could be some kind of certification or proof mark ?
This stamp appears on many of this style of sabre . Quite a few came from tjhe royal armory at Mazar I Sharif .

i guess it is,
it could as well be an indication of the place of making or the maker him self
