Hello Tim,

That part of the sword reads " Al-Khartoum Sanat 1298", not "In the name of god, the most beneficent, the most merciful" in arabic. I agree with you, this does not seem to be a quality blade, most etched blades coming out of sudan aren't anyway, the good Kaskara's are the ones with European blades.
