Hello,
I've asked my Telugu colleagues here in Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh) and they can't read anything beyond the last 2 numbers. Emanuel |

Hi Maisey,
Besides from some rust spots on the blade  , it seems to be difficult to translate. Could you not ask your friend to send pictures of the whole dagger? Maybe it would help, if we could find a place of origin.

It looks like 'Kanada' to me, perhaps from the Mysore armoury. Perhaps Olikara is on the forum and can help?
There are some similarities with this inscription: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=159 Regards, Runjeet |

Runjeet,
I believe it is Kannada as well, and the dagger you refer to, has the same kind of inscription. Last edited by Jens Nordlunde; 24th February 2012 at 03:52 PM. |
