Default Badik blade inscription translation request

Hello dear members,

yesterday I've purchased a nice badik, the blade shows on both sides an inlaid inscription, the seller stated that it is from brass but I think it could be from gold. Like always I am skeptical by something like this so I am more as curious to know the meaning of the inscription! Hope not "Made in Hongkong"!
So I would be very beholden for a translation. This are the brightened seller pictures, I can post detail pictures soon as I have it in my hands!
Thank you very much in advance!

It reads, " In the name of Allah, The Most Merciful The Most Beneficent".

Hullo Sajen,

Could be a western Java badi (local version of badik/badek; there have been many waves of migrants since at least the time of Aroeng Palakka)
If so, then the handle: eloek pakoe and the pamor: toenggoel.

Best,

Thank you Amuk,

that's more as interesting, the seller stated that he lived in West Java from 1985-1987.

Detlef

Hullo again Detlef,

You're very welcome!
BTW, strictly speaking, the pamor: Soelangkar Toenggoel.

Best,
