It Looks like there may be a date (with other characters either end and above) I see 1347 which is 1928 gregorian if it is a date.

Hi Guys,
My guess is 1327 which would be 1909 but there is a character after what might be a date and I'm not sure as to the meaning. Regards, Norman. |

LOL, at least we're both seeing it as a date ![]() Looks like a persian/farsi '4' to me, but the character at the end is a mystery! ![]() Best Gene |

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. |

Dont want to be the party pooper but i really doubt its Maguib.
The word is formed from the following letters : Meem Jeem ba'a ba'a (maybe Ha'a at the end) The closest readable word i can get from this is Mujabab and it makes no sense to me. |

Michael came up with this: "It reads "work of Mohamed something" and the date of 1327 which is 1948" |

Ms Rahill over at SFI has joined the fray.
She sees the date as 1347 (as I do) LOL, just to confuse the issue! |
