nice kindjal, but pity than the pics are dark according to the writing of the date, it's not written in Arabic, but "Farsi" phonetically, what is written and reads in a vertical, would be ± "benjal" (??) that under reserve and without warranty, coze, the "farsi" it's out of our competence ... the date is 1324 Hegire (H. I suppose*) what means 1906 Gregorian (I said "I suppose" because, in this area, too many calendars, between Chi'ite, Middle-East Churches ...) but the date that I translate, seems make sense à + Dom Last edited by Dom; 25th November 2011 at 12:38 AM. |
