Thank you Battara. T

Norman,the year is 1220 hegira, so it would make 1842 in gregorian, I think.

Hi Valjhun,
If you use a Hegira to Gregorian calculator, available on the net, it comes out to 1805/06. 1220 x0.97+622. I'm pretty sure this is correct and it would make the Yataghan older than you thought so good news I hope.
My Regards,
Norman.

1810
(A.H. date) x .97 + 622 = (A.D. date) This equation can be off a month but it is close enough for our purposes. Norman your math was correct just wrong symbols for numbers
