Hi j118
you arrived at the right place, for the right purpose

your edged weapons is an yatagan Ottoman, with an handle "ears" or "butterfly"
the script, excepted if Quranic, should be in turkish, especially that there is a tughra
with the tughra, you might expect evaluated the age of your yatagan

all the best
