Thumbs up

Hi mohd,

Thanks for replying.
It seems that Tunggulametung was on the right way than!
Strange, cause I wonder why they want that info on a scabbard?

I was thinking of some phrase of the koran, or some spell to prevent the carrier from behing hurt in wartime...
Seems it to be an address with price of scabbard etc.....

Anyway, Tunggulametung, great work.
Now two of you guys are backing eachother up on this, I fully trust your translation!

There is also something written in other "western" script, but I can't make anything of it.
I have to look soon with a magnifier, maybe I can decipher the letters.

Again, thank you both for your effords.
And if you find out more, please let me know! It would be great to have the whole translation.
It might be from the one who sold it eventually to a Dutch marechausse, who was stationed in North Sumatera and who brought it back as wartrophy and asked the owner then to put that kind of info in the scabbard.

Kind Regards,
Maurice
