Dear Dom, manythanks to you and your wife. Really sorry for bad quality of pics, but the blade is a little bit damaged due to age and in real life the words look the same as on photo. By the way, is it possible to translate what's written on 3d pic from above, just right to the birds head? These words are carved very deep and remain in good condition...

Thanks again

Hi Devadatta
could you be kind enough to make me a picture WITH the bird
when we began the translation, we read "MAHM" (Arabic sense "MHAM")
and may be the following letters are part of the bird, very common way with Arabs, they like to mix design and writting



the two other signs in above stay unfortunatly for us illegible

Hi Devadatta
YES it's OK
sorry, but the translation didn't progress a lot
- 2 signs on top ... no meaning apparently
- below, the other sign should be the name "Mohamed"

nothing more as far as for us

Thank you very much, Dom!

So many names on one blade...I'm wondering if all these people were working on it
