I have seen this type of inscription a number of times. Usually it is a remembrance of ancestors. I think dom is right this is a late piece and the arabic is nice and clear. That particular type of punch inscription was used typicaly from the 1940-1960s era

Hi Stuart,
What an attractive piece! Congratulations.
Even 1958 means its just celebrated its half century! A very respectable score in cricket, and a respectable age for a quality dagger.

Regards
Gene
