Yataghan cartouche translation
Hello,
Can anyone please help me with the translation of the text in the cartouche of this yataghan?! Is there a date where the arrow is pointing (maybe upside down)? |

It's very tight together but if it is numerals I'm thinking of 1224.
with an online hijiri-gregorian converter that gives 1809 (depending on month) |

Thank you very much for the feedback!
I was also thinking about 1224...  (albeit the 4 looks rather odd, but it is possible to have some part of it missing)However, it appears there is more written, so I am hoping that maybe Zifir or Kwiatek will be able to tell us more. It would be great to have a signature or a place of origin. Is it Turkish?! Is it from the Balkans?!

I agree it looks like ١٢٢٤ 1224/1809-10.
In the roundel are the names of the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus and their dog. There is a maker‘s inscription عمل مصطفی “Work of Mustafa” An owner’s inscription reads صاحب احمد “The owner, Ahmed” |
