Hi Gentlemen
I have a new situation here, and i kindly require your members expertize info.
As i found i could get no better defininition for the engraving on the grip, for the help of Aqtai on the third word/name, i noticed that the blade tang was fixed into the grip with silver wedges. One of these wedges is folded out, showing some markings in it. To my eyes this doesn't seem to be arabic, looking more geometrical, like hebreu. Mind you, i am influenced by what i read about yemen resident jews having been the superior silver and gold artisans, including janbiyya hilts and scabbards.
Could you Aqtai, confirm this is arabic ?
Can other forum members tell me what language this could be written on ?
Is it the wright assessment, the inscription on the pommel being the owners name, and the symbols on the blade wedge being the maker's marks?
Thank you so much for help.
