I think it says "This beautiful sword belongs with Steve. Send it to him immediately"

Steve,

You were so very close on the translation.

This is an Indian sword with a blade that has watering that is more Persian looking. Quite interestingly, on another forum, it was said to be a combination of Arabic/Farsi and they translated it as
"Seeing the Sind flooding everyday"
Does anyone know if this is a symbolic sentence or what? Pics of the sword and a close up of the watering.

"Seeing the Sind flooding everyday"

Maybe a description based on the wootz pattern? Just a wild guess.
