The inscription is definitely Turkish. Shame on me, I cannot read it and it is such a clear inscription. I can only say it's a rhyme and the first line says something about assaulting one's enemy. The swordmaker's name is Mahmud (or Mahmoud as it is usually written in English).

I wish I could understand a single letter… unfortunately Arabic is just a total mystery to me….

Have you seen some other work of this swordmaker??
