Help With An Arabic Kindjal Inscription Please....
4 Attachment(s)
I am hoping one of our Arabic speakers will be kind enough to translate the inscription on the rear of the chape of this kindjal.
Thanks in advance! |
at least the date
1228/1813 :) |
It reads,
Work of Rajab 12?8 Year Owner Harsin Ibn Aslan Bek The third digit does not appear to be a 2. It is likelier a reversed 6, giving a date of 1268 (1851/52,) which is more consistent with the form and decoration than an early 19th century date. Just above the inscription is a family mark or tamga. |
Thanks so much guys....very helpful!
