I checked with my wife and her guess is " Hijratul nabiyyin sallalahualai hi wassalam" loosely translated as " the migration of the prophet of Allah, may peace be upon him. Could be a kind of stamp like those found on rings of muslim rulers of old. She could be totally wrong of course.
Would love to hear if anyone agree with this reading or any alternative one?
Also, would love to hear opinion about the thin blade which look quite strange to me with rather awkward looking luks . And what type of pamor is this?....and this combination of ivory and wood donoriko type hilt is unusual to me too.
