BJ or others who can read Arabic,
I am curious on the writing on this Sumatran Pedang and would really appreciate a translation? Michael |

bj211,
we shall soon be building a large platform to hoist your new-found honorary status onto. your contributions are remarkable and a wonderful asset to this forum. we all have translators that we use (both mechanical and breathing) but i have not seen many as precise and clear as yours. well done! |

bj211,
Let me add my gratitude. Your translation adds a very interesting dimension to the sword and makes the owner/maker's words come alive again. M. |

I'm also a grateful observer of bj211's help...facinating what's being discovered on each of the swords you've translated. Out of curiousity, do you know the cultural meanings of symbols, too, besides script?
