Hi Dom
Thanks anyway for your efforts on translation. Any Sudanese in the forum ?
Glad the kaskara has produced so much interest - its a thick, heavy old blade, with beautiful script. Might be native made ? but difficult to say 100% (refer my previous posts on this subject). The engravings of the lion, orb and script may have been by the same hand. The crossguard probably forged.
Regards.

the translation is roughly impossible excepted some words related to religious invocations, as well as
"Rasul Allah" either "God's Prophet" ... "Allah" either "God"
absolutely sorry 
any way, I think my "Brother Lotfi", has not been more fortunate in his attempt of translation
