I disagree, this seems to be persian, not arabic, although I could read:
"Sayid Nadir Shah" and the word "Iran" in the middle of the inscription. |

I could read the word before 'Iran' as 'Padishah.'

So would it be safe to assume thus far we have "Sayid Nadir Shah Padshah Iran"?

Thank you very much. I would not say so about the hilt, dream back to when it was made, is must have been a very nice hilt. True, the blade really is very nice, congratulations. Do you know from where it origins?

Unfortunately I don't have much of history on this piece. I bought it from a fellow living in Texas who had absolutely no clue what this was.
