It Looks like there may be a date (with other characters either end and above) I see 1347 which is 1928 gregorian if it is a date.

Hi Guys,
My guess is 1327 which would be 1909 but there is a character after what might be a date and I'm not sure as to the meaning. Regards, Norman. |

LOL, at least we're both seeing it as a date ;) Looks like a persian/farsi '4' to me, but the character at the end is a mystery! :) Best Gene |

Have a look at Georgian and see if you can see any similarities: |
hmm these inscriptions on Kindjals are really hard to read. All i can read is the first word (right to left) and it is عمل Amal which means : work of. Even so it doesnt make full sense because its either damaged or means something else entirely since there is a space between the letter Ma and la which could be just loss to the inscription.
The 2nd word which might be a name i find it very hard to read. The date could be 1337 if the 3rd number (left to right) has inscription loss. |

Well thats three possibilities for the date now: 1327, 1337, 1347. Do you think the language IS arabic? |

you are nearly :D our point of view could be: AMAL MAGUIB either MADE BY MAGUIB the date is clear 1327 no doubt ... :p à + Dom |
many thanks!
|
yay! Dom to the rescue :)
|
Dont want to be the party pooper but i really doubt its Maguib.
The word is formed from the following letters : Meem Jeem ba'a ba'a (maybe Ha'a at the end) The closest readable word i can get from this is Mujabab and it makes no sense to me. |
Had a reply 'elsewhere' to the request from back a ways....
Michael came up with this: "It reads "work of Mohamed something" and the date of 1327 which is 1948" |
No way its Mohammed.
Mohammed in arabic = محمد This word is something like مجببة |

1327 A.H. = 1909 A.D. [1327 X 0.97 + 622 = 1909 ] Regards, Norman. |

LOL, yeah I know. ;) |
Ms Rahill over at SFI has joined the fray.
She sees the date as 1347 (as I do) LOL, just to confuse the issue! |
