Translation: "The owner and master of Hamid Agha"

Sorry, but I couldn't read the full name in the first line.

Yes, 1242 AH corresponds to 1826 CE.

Ibrahiim, I salute you for your positivity in this forum. You deserve a lot of praise, buddy!

Best regards,
Ahmed Helal Hussein

Salaams Ahmed... Well done on the translation and thank you for supporting this one. I was amazed I got the mathematics right on the date!!
I hope you and your family are well and keeping safe.

Ibrahiim al Balooshi.

All I have to add is that this is Balkan in origin, perhaps from the Bosnia area.

ArmsAndAntiques--you have received a ban for violating the forum rules on posting items currently offered in an auction. This is a particularly flagrant violation as the auction in question is your own.

I strongly suggest you read the forum Rules carefully, lest another such violation result in a permanent ban.
