Ottoman Turkish inscription: Need single word translated

Atlantia · 2nd November 2010, 10:44 PM

I am going a bit batty trying to get this inscription translated.
We know that the inscription is 'Made by ****** 1322'
But that last word is eluding my best efforts to get it translated.

I guess the main thread might not immediately attract Turkish speakers as it doesn't mention the swords origin in the title and Kindjals cover a wide area, so I'm having one last go with this message.
If this doesn't work I'll have to take it into a Turkish business and ask

You have to because you didn't fullfill the translation rules

Love the beautiful twist core!

Now show the rest of the piece please!

I can't believe you guys have missed the 'story so far' LOL!!!!!

This is a Turkish Kindjal dated 1904. It has an interesting twistcore in star pattern, with a nice temper line down the edges.

Seriously though, thank you Gentlemen, I hope you can see why I'm so desperate to get as much information as I can about this sword.

Gene, This is absolutely stunning. Blades like this make me think about widening my collection to include more that just Philippine items. Sorry to say I can't help with the translation, I'm still working on English !!!
