The blade may benefit from some cleaning.

I have no idea what the cartouche inscription says but it appears to intact.

Where in India do you think this is from? Might help with the inscription

I find this sword and the inscription very suspicious... Might explain the difficulties that you have to read it...

Not too sure. In tirris book he does not say where it is from. Just says its a persian blade with a indian hilt. Dated 18th century

Tirris does not say in his book. Only states that its 18th century, persian blade with indian hilt. Maybe its mughal but in terms of location, I am not too sure -

The blade too looks Indian to me because of the "Indian ricasso" but that may be resulted from repeated sharpening.

I would be careful of Tirri - his book has many many inaccuracies through out the book.
