Well, at first I really appreciate your try for translating this text. Don't feel embaressed, I was the one who posted it upside down.

It might be that "mohd", also member on this forum could help. He translated also the text on my ladieng recently.

I never heard of the written text of prices etc. on an antique scabbard, made for warfare..
That normally is the case with touristic pieces, where names of towns and dates are often mentioned on the blades or carved in the scabbards.
This scabbard certainly is no touristic piece....
If your translation is correct, than an "Azimat" is not the right word for this text.
