Kilij translation of letters on the blade

I think the lockets do not belong here: they are obviously too small , and the suspension rings are integral and ovoid, Persian style. Ottomans used separate rings that were circular.

Hi Ariel,

thank you for sharing your thoughts, the sword is most probably Persian.
The mounts on the scabbard are not to small it is the leather that has shrunken, as is often the case on older scabbards.

Kind regards
