  Hi Stu

in the cartouche
AMAL SCAN ??? either 
MADE BY SCAN ??? (
driani ???)
it's my ... imagination  

 push me to said "SCANDRIANI" 
(the guy coming from Alexandria ... 
but there are plenty cities, towns, villages named Alexandria, not just in Egypt, but in Syria, in Turkey, may be in Iraq ...  
 
... I know, all that it's not much helpful   
 
specially, to translate what is on the blade ...
