Kindjal Stamp Translation Request

TVV · 29th March 2011, 12:40 AM

Here is an appeal for help to those members, who can read Arabic. Can you please make something out of this stamp on a kindjal blade? My friend, who owns the piece, believes it to be Georgian, from the end of the 19th century. I am aware that the stamp may be illegible, but if you can discern a name or something out of it, it will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,
Teodor
