Salaams Ibrahiim!

Regarding the first cartouche:

The first line:

عمل ...بن حسين أغا

Translation: "Made by ....son of Hussein Agha"

The second line:

صاحب و مالك حامد أغا

Translation: "The owner and master of Hamid Agha"

Sorry, but I couldn't read the full name in the first line.

Yes, 1242 AH corresponds to 1826 CE.

Ibrahiim, I salute you for your positivity in this forum. You deserve a lot of praise, buddy!

Best regards,
Ahmed Helal Hussein
