Anybody able to read Persian alphabet?

Inscription is Farsi written in Arabic letters in the Khat Ta'liq style of calligraphy. Since I can't understand Farsi and since the style means the letters are a bit jumbled in the cartouche, I can't really make out what it says. It's hard to transcribe from the individial letters since each language that adopted the Arabic writing system have their own distinct pronunciation. Good luck.

Nope, that is arabian letters in Farsi calligraphy, not Ta'liq.

Thanks a lot. Then I think I must look for somebody from Iran perhaps on net. It could help.

Sorry, it's actually khat nastaliq, a combination of Khat Nashki and Taliq used by the Persians in place of the Avestai alphabet.

I was searching for Persian Armor and fate brought me to your forum. I don't know if you found the answers you wanted but, I took a look at the writings. They seem to be written in Farsi and as it was mentioned by others in Nastaliq style, though I didn't quiet get what It says. It seems to me that it's a poem which is not unusual for Iranians. I'll take a deeper look

when I get a chance.
since I have no business in this forum email me if you have any questions.
