I can't translate the text, but the seal of Salomon shows the names of the seven sleepers of Ephesus und their dog. It is a very common decoration on blades of the Ottoman Empire.

And the Seal of Solomon wards off evil being talismanic (Solomon in Islam was a king and a sorcerer).

Very nice piece.
