Who could help me with those inscriptions ?,
This sword around 1500-1550 with brass hilt have , older medieval blade and later replaced grip. The sword seems to had been made unusable ( quillons and edges broken)probably after a lost bataille.
The hilt, with inscription.
Could it be Arabic/naskhi characters engraved on the hilt ? It will confirm the hypothesis that this sword was captured and destroyed by Ottoman

Any comment on it will be welcome
