- the name mentionned, if any, is not arab, may be; turkish, caucassian, or ??
but unknown for us, succession of letters (2 or 3) without meaning
- only one (1) word is clear " SARAB" either "OWNER"

sorry to do not be more helpfull

maybe some body else

Sorry for bringing that thread up again. But I'm interested if someone could figured out what is the meaning of the second word.

Thank you Zifir, for the last complete transaction!

Hi,
Date 1805/6 I think, but I stand to be corrected.
Regards,
Norman.

Nice Valjhun, real silver inlay not koftgari.....

Valjhun · 28th July 2008, 06:58 PM

Thank you Battara. T

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

Norman McCormick · 28th July 2008, 07:49 PM

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.
