Can someone kindly translate the Turkish ? inscription for me, please.

Comments and identification of the dagger would be welcome - area of origin, approximate age etc...

Length in sheath is around 27cm.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Colin
- Ottoman Bichaq for sure,
- area of origin could be from Balkan
- date early to mid 19 C
after a nice cleaning, will be an very attractive dagger
