Hello,

could someone help me with the translation of the letters on the blade of this kilij?
This is normally not my field of collection however I always wanted a good kilij and I really like the blade on this one and that it has more the look of a combat weapon instead of a more parade like style.
They told me the writing is in old Persian and that the sword was 18th century.
18th century seems right to me, I haven't got a clue about the writing.

All help is welcome, thanks beforehand
