Dear All,
I found those markings on a late 17th century blate tang. Can anyone identify it? Best regards Andreas |

The markings look like a very stylized version of Arabic. Could you post a pic of the entire blade so we have some sort of context?

Here are the images. It belongs to a late swiss sabre. Sadly it was opened.
