Shamshir, (number 2) translation and comments please

I thought that by posting three similar swords ...one may be forgotten. Unfortunately, this one has been missed. Strangely this is my favorite, a nice heavy and functional sword.

Are twin fullers unusual on a Shamshir ? The Rhino hilt (I'm fairly certain but not 100%) would indicate a more high end sword ?

Dom and Alnakkas,
sorry to rely on you again for a translation (I realise I've been 'pushing my luck' recently

) but if you could look at this sword I would appreciate it, thank you

I would be grateful for any help on this one..

Kind Regards David
