Any idea where it is from?

Thanks for the info. Not even having the inscription the right way around is just evidence that I have no language knowledge. Shah Abbas, cool. I have only cleaned a small area and it did not show any pattern with either Tannic acid and wostershire sauce, I must get some Nital (shame on me to be out of it).
It is a funny piece. Really worn down brass guard, horrible scabbard, also with worn fittings. But the blade seems quite nice under all the stuff on the surface. Thanks again Rivkin and S.Al-Anizi.

It looks like a nice sword Ann, may we (not to sound selfish!

) get a pic of the entire sword. I bet you that the blade is wootz.

I will post a pic of the whole blade as soon as I get a chance to take the picture.
