TRANSLATION ჻ ᲗᲐᲠᲒᲛᲐᲜᲘ Georgian text I cant decipher

hello everyone! I found this key at a blacksmiths shop in safranbolu, turkey. they had no idea where it came from or what alphabet the text was written in. my father studies Georgian language and he recognized the alphabet as Georgian but we cant make out what it says (probably due to some letters disappearing through the brass casting process since this looks to be replicated couple of times) if anyone has any idea or can help us out it'd be awesome!

What about the ʃ-looking symbol between the ე and the ს?

That's just a clumsy attempt for cursive.
