The hilt, with inscription.
Could it be Arabic/naskhi characters engraved on the hilt ? It will confirm the hypothesis that this sword was captured and destroyed by Ottoman

Any comment on it will be welcome

Salaams Cerjak.. This looks like an amazing sword...The inscription does not seem to be in any Arabic caligraphy style save possibly some sort of Armoury mark. I would float this on the European.

The blade looks amazingly like Sudanese kaskara.
