Hi Jim, yes I can see why its hard to see the resemblance with the script on my bayonet, but I saw a group of I think it was 8 bayonets from Afghanistan {From which I got my particular one.} Some of the script was much more curved & flowing , I got my bayonet for its Mazar al sharrif markings & condition , some of the others had better script & more script.

The script was also on some Afghan Martinis that were imported at the same time.

The usual inscription from Mazar al sharrif weopons when inscribed are Dari according to the fellows who brought them back.
