Translation - cartouche on Sher Bacha
Good day all,
I have an Ottoman rampart gun and it has a cartouche with Arabic (I think) writing/symbols. I was wondering if anybody might be able to tell me what they mean/say? Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hello Dom,
Yes, I had read that, but considering the size of the piece - 60" long - I thought I would do everybody a favor and not att the extra photos. However, since you have asked, here they are. Best regards. |

Hello Dom,
Thank you for the effort. I posted the photo showing the position - the oval - of the cartouche on the barrel. Best regards, David |

Dom,
Here's another shot of the cartouche. I can't believe just how hard it is trying to get a good view of it. Maybe this will help, Also, there is a small mark above it that was hidden under the barrel strap. Best regards, David |
