Don't think my efforts are better than Nandos, but perhaps in combination all will be of some help?
If not then, Stu, email me some clearer pics and I'll be happy to combine them etc.

Thanks Gene,
Hope something comes of this as I am curious as to what script says. Why can't they make it simple and use English!!

Ok, so there are 6 lines of text plus what is on the hanadle.
first line ÷ احمد not sure of the division sign's purpose the text read Ahmad.
line 2 محمد با قطب الدین can not make out the rest After Mohammad there is با at first i thought it would read Mohammad Baqer but I think it most likely is Mohammad Qutbuddin. The lines on text go form one side to another that is why I was asking for a new picture.
line 3 نس النا شیا بیر my Arabic is really rusty, and I can not make anything out of that, sorry.
line 4 هوللـه I think the maker meant هواللـه He is Allah. on the other side شهر
which means month the Line 5 says which month Rabi Awal ربیع اول. after it on the other side it is سنت which is year and right under it in line 6 is the year with is 1378 which means 54 Lunar years ago. and the pommel, حسن یی Hassan is a name not sure of the other, under it again year and then 11, not sure what is that about.

Well i hope that helps a bit

Just remembered that 11 is the numerical value in Arabic of الله Allah, it is totally common that instead writing Allah most still write 11.

Am not too sure about the translation.. Some words can have many meanings because the scribe decided to use dots.. Confusing and annoying lol. I love the dagger though..

The only thing we can not be sure of is what comes after Mohammad محمد the rest is dead on. Even with dots it is pretty easy to read. Someone who is a native Arab should be able to decypher the rest.
