Hi nalan
I confess my total ignorance for this kind of weapon ![]() I can just enjoy its aesthetic side, it's seems pretty the translation by us, it's not possible, it is not written in Arabic very sorry for you ![]() à + Dom |

This item was just sold on ebay here is the description.
"Old Indian warrior Tabar Axe All Steel Indian Tabarzin Axe from North India Region. Axe has crescent shaped blade engraved in Islamic scripts and all steel axe is damscened in gold. Do not know how old it is or much about this other than what I can find on the internet. This is from my father in laws 60+ year collection. From what I can find these are hard to find and expensive." Maybe this will help with identifying the type of writing. |

I'd have to disagree with that ... it can not be Islamic inscriptions because at this time would be understood by a person reading Arabic and ... this is not the case ... apparently ![]() à + Dom |

"Old Indian warrior Tabar Axe All Steel Indian Tabarzin Axe from North India Region" I was thinking that if not Arabic then perhaps an Indian dialect?, I should have been more accurate in my meaning. |

There is the possibility that it is written in Urdu, which is an Indian dialect written in Arabic script.

I personally think that this ax is from Central Asia Turks tribal Of course, in medieval China often have similar appearance |
