Well its hard to read, but I think it says "Ya Rab Nasruka Wa Rithak", "God we seek your aid and acceptance". The etching is very dulled out if you know what I mean, its hard to read the letters.

Just like to say thanks for your help on this, most enlighten. Your information has made me happy that I stuck my neck out on this item.

"God we seek your aid acceptance"

A pray made physical in this sword. Is most appropriate for the time and place. Whether from followers of the Mahdi or inhabitants of Khartoum wanting relief from bad governance or in fear of the pending conflict. I see no reason to doubt the date. Thanks again you have made it speak, in a way.
