Hi Kurt,
There looks to be a date/numbers on the left hand side. By my reckoning it reads 1852 although it is not all that clear. If it is a date it is unusual, in my experience anyway, in that the numbers are written in Arabic but referring to a Western dating system. Hope this is of some help.
My Regards,
Norman.

I could not understand it.
Regards Kurt

Hi Kurt
that inscription it's not Arabic language
only the alphabet is Arabic

about the date, it's correct what has been translated 1852
nothing strange that it's not Hegira calendar as far as ;
- the owner ... wasn't Muslim
- and for sure wasn't Arab
his references was Christians (an indication for you)

just F.Y.I.
because somebody could be shock by the fact that Christians are using Arabic language ...
for instance, the Romans Melkites (Catholic) in Egypt, are
- praying ... in Arabic
- all their liturgical offices are in Arabic
- all their records (bapteme, mariage, funeral) are writing in Arabic
and when I said "Arabic" is classical Arabic, the same than for the Holy Koran

until ... now

Hi Dom,
Not shocked at all just less usual in "my" experience and agreed language is not necessarily an indication of a particular 'belief system' but it may be a pointer in some circumstances. My own experience, which is limited, of weapons and related material that incorporates inlaid/inscribed Arabic script/numerals on the whole tend to have an Islamic origin, obviously in this instance that is not the case.
My Regards,
Norman.

The ornamentation is purely Circassian.
