Translation of Indian blade inscription

A. G. Maisey · 23rd February 2012, 12:51 AM

These two photos have been sent to me by a friend with a request to try to find out the translation..

I'm sorry, but he has not given me photos of the complete dagger. I have seen it, and it is a peshkabz type thing.

Is anybody able to assist with a translation of this text?

Thank you.

Hi,

Looks like a script from down South, from Andhra Pradesh or Karnataka.

Will check with a couple of friends who can read it.

The last two characters read "4" and "2" so most probably this should be some armory no. or something.

Regards,
Bhushan

Hello,

I've asked my Telugu colleagues here in Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh) and they can't read anything beyond the last 2 numbers.
