Thanks Austin

truely, very original "saïf"

yesterday I wrote; second dedicace, more interesting ... really
judge by yourself .... :p
according with the dedicace, it's seem that this "saïf" has been offer as present to some one bearing a turkish title :D
translation
Zafer Ibn Mohamed lai "Saheb Al Sa'hada"
Zafer son of Mohamed to "His Excellency"
"Saheb Al Sa'hada" is a turkish civilian title, used for Minister e.i.
but what is strange; no name before the title :shrug:

Thank you very much for the translation Dom, this is very interesting and I'm going to have to look into it further. Dom I posted another shamshir for a friend here awhile back but no one seemed able to translate it, do you think you could take a look and give me your thoughts, here's the link http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=7860

Once again thank you very much for your help.
