Dagger ID and Arabic ? Translation request

erikscollectables · 2nd November 2010, 08:05 PM

The Dagger has been ID'd by Lew (thanks!) - I am still looking for help on the text in the blade. Regards, Erik

This dagger arrived in the mail today.

It came with some other items from an old Dutch collection of blades.
Mainly Indonesian but also some others (African and others) - collected before 1940. So far I have been able to buy 9 items.

This one is a riddle to me.
I have no idea what it is - so please help me here!
There seem to be markings on the blade and also an inscription (maybe upside down?)

All info welcome!

Regards, Erik
