Hallo, this is an old possible pre-19th century shortened yataghan.
The inscription is simple propably etched with acid, no inlay or other fancy work.
Can anyone translate please?

Hi Efhitis,
The inscription includes the names of the Seven Sleepers and their dog. "Yemliha, Mekselina, Mislina, Mernuş, Debernuş, Şazenuş, Kefeştatayuş, and Kıtmir." I cannot read the seal though.

Best,

Zifir

Hi Zifir, and thank you very much for your help. I post for this also some better photos, just in case you can read the seal also.
