Kubachi pistol - help, arabic (turk?), needed

Rivkin · 6th October 2006, 12:38 AM

Gentlemen,

Attached are the photographs of what I think is Kubachi pistol, circa 1857, damascus barrel, really nice made.

It has 4 signatures - lock, barrel, butt and barrel's lower mounting. I would greatly appreciate if someone with better arabic would translate, for I can just pickup a word here and word there. Thank you very much!

Since nobody responded, let me try.

Sahib Jehil 1274 (owner Jehil, year 1857/58)

Amel-i Muhammed (work of Muhammed)

Amel-i Ibrahim, Sahib Jehil 1275 (work of Ibrahim, owner Jehil, year 1858/59)

This inscription seems to be persian, this is just a guess though.

Maybe you already read the parts I read. Anyway I hope it helps.
