Thumbs up a quick clean and an etch

Here are some of the finer details of the twistcore head. I found a little time this morning to give it the once over and a quick etch.

Can the script be read? Or is it just gobbledygook?

Very nice pattern!

Now all we need is someone who can either read Arabic and/or Jawi.........

That cleaned up beautifully! I think this is going to turn out to be a readable inscription.

Thanks Battara. I looked at the Jawi written language today and I think you are correct in saying that is what it is. I'll spend some time this week trying to make sense of it but I can't feel but help our Keris comrades may be able to offer some help with a translation but their forum is for Keris only....

Hi
sorry for delays about our intervention, we were travelling
indeed, better to found someone with "Jawi" knowledge,
because, the mention on the blade, it's not in Arabic

best regards
