Hello guys, beautiful shamshir David! Congrats. As for the material of the hilt, such type of material such as bakelite was probably liked back then. They are still used but for prayer beads, one of mine which I use for formal dressing is infact a bakelite (called bokolite/sandaloos here)
Sheikh Dom got the date and name correctly, but the cartouche says "amal Assad Allah" which ofcourse means: Work of Assad Allah
