here we are

first line
AMAL SALAH KHABEN OSMAN ELM DAR either in English MADE BY SALAH KHABEN OSMAN ELM DAR

second line
SAHEB MALEK SOLIMAN ARA either in English BELONGS TO THE OWNER SOLIMAN (ARA error corrected by Teodor) AGHA
not sure, but "Ara" should be a title for Ottoman, only Zifir could clarify that point,
BUT due to correction I may confirm that "AGHA" is the top rank in janissary troops, and I'm formal

who put me back on the right track

CORRECTION, it's not"AGA" but "AGHA" janissary rank (top level)
