It seems it will not be possible for me to read those words which I am missing in the inscription for the near future. So I will give you what I have so far.


İlahi dilerim senden ....... (O God! I wish .......from you)



Bu ..... sahibine olsun mübarek (May this ......be blessed and propitious for its owner) the word that I could not read most probably referring to yatagan but no idea what that word is.



Amel-i Hasan (Swordmaker Hasan)



I could recognize the number '88' here but no idea for the rest

I agree with Flavio, the grip is made of two pieces of walrus ivory.

Interesting to see the silver inlayed instead of koftgari. Not rare, but not as common as koftgari.
