I am not quite sure what you want me to answer to - please be more specific.

Jens, I think Mahratt wanted an opinion on where this Khyber was produced, i.e. its origin. It has Indian and Afghani features, and it'd be safe to say it is Indo-Afghani:-) Also, the cartouche type is not uncommon for these regions.
Mahratt, it cannot be called "tughra" by the way. "tughra" is exclusively Ottoman mark.

Hi Mahratt,
Alex thanks for the clarifying. I am with you when it comes to the Indian-Afghani origin, and I am with Dom when it comes to the square, as I too think it may be some kind of magic square.
The dot marking is seen now and again, but not so often.
