I do not think it is "CV": rather it is arabic 27. Will make in total 1927.
Gregorian date written with arabic numerals.

I have a whiff of something Syrian :-)

Thank you Ariel and Drac2k,
Yes. it is date - 1927. I would be very interested in what else is written on the blade. My idea is eastern part of Turkey (?), maybe south east (?)

It's from eastern Turkey

Thank you Ward.

And hereby I appeal to experienced colleagues with knowledge of Arabic writing (and maybe Turkish language) not to be shameful ...

Please, any idea concerning the text ? From the date and origin I would presuppose it may be a version of Arabic scripture used in Ottoman Turkish during Ottoman Empire and also during the first years of the Republic. Maybe our colleagues from Turkey could help ? Thank you.
Regards,
Martin

Finaly:
It is rally written in so called "Osmanlı". What we succeeded to translate is:
Yadigar-ı Konya (remembrance of Konya)
Miralay Yusuf (Colonel Yusuf)
