Thanks so much for that information. It is very frustrating to know that information is there but in a language you don't understand!
I have another dagger (featured on this Forum a few weeks ago) with Arabic inscription on the blade. Are you able to translate for me please? Pics attached. Regards Stuart

I wish to take advantage of this thread to have, if possible, a translation of the writings on the cartouche of my Quajar shamshir.

I Paolo,
unfortunately in the first cartouche is written with in Farsi (فارسی, fārsī)
it's logical that it is not Arabic ... your dagger is Qajar
and here we know "just" arabic

but you are a lucky man, the second cartridge is readable
you have the name of the bladesmith, the well know "Assad Allah"
