Arabian beauty 1 translation?

[eftihis]

Dear friends, i have in front of me the page with the translation of the islamic numbers and i tried to read them again,and i think that if we start the reading of the date just one letter before, the date becomes 1101 (=1689) which also looks early for this sword. If we read it like this there are just 2 other letters that they may symbolise the month, or something different.
Please see this reading and tell me if it is possible to read the date this way.
Is it possible for this sword to be so old???

Eftihis, look closely, the last digit you are reading "1" is not a one. Thats a "3" in arabic, with that three point horizontal squibble on its top left, thats one digit.
