Dom,

Thank you very much! The scabbard is almost brand new, made a knifesmith in Bulgaria, who copied from somwhere - we can not use it for identification.

It seems that the general consensus is that the blade is Indian, with an Ottoman hilt. When it comes to names, such as Allah, Mohammed and Abdallah, is there a difference in the way they are written in Arabic, Turkish or Persian, or are they written in the same manner in all these labguages?

Best regards,
Teodor
