azimat on sikin scabbard: help please!

[Maurice]

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

This is indeed a strange and interesting text.
I would think along the same line as you on this Maurice but this might be one you'll never really will know...

no, unfortunately we can't look back in history.

But this is also the fun of the amazing thing of collecting.
There is always much more to learn from these pieces, which make them unique by itself.

Who else has such fine carved quality sikinscabbard as I have with a shoppinglist written on it?

in case of sentences extracted from Holy Koran,
the matter will be very easy, I mean for us,
because
it's ONLY Arabic language which is used
what ever the country concerned
