I'm suprised that nobody has translated it yet. Could it be that the other characters are in a more obscure language.

Have a look at Georgian and see if you can see any similarities:

hmm these inscriptions on Kindjals are really hard to read. All i can read is the first word (right to left) and it is عمل Amal which means : work of. Even so it doesnt make full sense because its either damaged or means something else entirely since there is a space between the letter Ma and la which could be just loss to the inscription.

The 2nd word which might be a name i find it very hard to read.

The date could be 1337 if the 3rd number (left to right) has inscription loss.

Well thats three possibilities for the date now: 1327, 1337, 1347.

Do you think the language IS arabic?

Hi Lotfi
you are nearly

our point of view could be:
AMAL MAGUIB either MADE BY MAGUIB
the date is clear 1327 no doubt ...
