Sorry Valjhun, I totally forgot about this thread.
Sorry pal, cannot read this script, seems more like urdu or one of the many afghan languages that use the arabic script. Sorry for taking alot of time to get back to you. |

Thank you verry much S.Al-Anizi.
Afghan? I find it very strange indeed. It is of a typical greek lower quality manufacture, at least the fittings, the blade nicest quality and could be earlier. I'm attaching the other pictures. There is something like a makers mark also. Is there someone who can read it? |

hi. I am almost sure the scabbard mountings are new,and have been remounted to this scabbard although they dont properly fit, as somebody has preferred to do so instead of leaving it empty. You can see it from the metal sew and the place of the original mountings. Plus -I think- the grip band is new too,which reminds me very much the style of somebody I know from Istanbul...

Valjhun, the writing could also be Osmanli, or even Persian? (more likely than afghan )
