Anyone who would like to try helping me with a translation of a text, written on a sikin scabbard?
It is a long text, almost along the whole backside of the scabbard. If anybody would be that kind and wants to give it a try, I could move the metal bands and post some close up images of the whole text... Thank you in advance, Maurice Last edited by Maurice; 8th September 2010 at 11:09 AM. |

![]() may you apply our rules for translation, please ![]() http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=11201 anyway, after review, the writing uses the Arabic alphabet, but the language used is not the Arab ![]() regards à + Dom |

And yes............I know the rules and will also respect them! But....it came in today, and couldn't wait asking for help on the translation, so I quickly made a picture of text only because I had little time this afternoon. I made more images just half an hour ago, and will post them after uploaded them from my camera to my computer, if I find a little time this evening. And ofcourse I have taken better images of the text, hoping to get any translation.. ![]() Regards, Maurice |

Here some close ups of the text!
Forgive me if the text is upside down. ![]() If so we have 3 options: Option 1: Turn your computerscreen upside down and try to translate! Option 2: Stand on your head before the computerscreen and try to translate than .......and if that don't work either, we still have option 3! Option 3: I will turn the images and post them the other way around... ![]() |

Looks like I see a bismallah in the first picture (which is upside down).
