Nice Persian Quaddarra For Help With Inscription Translation

Scabbard fitting on the next to last picture has numbers: 007.
Oh, my God!
It belonged to... You know who!
Is there an Arabic equivalent of the letter Q somewhere?

Hey Charles,

Oh forgot to mention this bit. There was a similar one in Kuwait (in 2011), priced for a wooping 500$. The blade was really nice, and it was a Qajar piece complete and clean.

I couldnt afford it back then. But that quaddara and a saif sold a couple of years ago by Charles still give me nightmares :-))

A.alnakkas thanks for your help. Is this Arabic or Farsi in Arabic script.

Which sold swords were you referring to? That had to be a VERY long time ago!

Also, what is making the other script difficult to read?

Thanks again!

you are welcome. The script is arabic but I suspect the one that I could not translate to be Persian. its the 3rd picture.

As for the saif, its this one.
