Dagger with raised arabic script

Might be new I guess but if so there has been a lot of odd details (like hot forged sheath bands) and steel is patinated and looks to have some folding. Script is intersting too - religious tourism? Cleaned just before pic taken BTW.

Hi,

The script doesnt make any sense, just a bunch of words and numbers all jumbled up.

Many times a blade acid etched like this is a sign that it was made for sale.

I think this might be a tourist badek that got put in some old dress. New keris are often put in adapted older dress so why not a badek?.

OK, tourist badek then. Thanks all.

Still quite like it...
