I asked for better pictures on an earlier post, if you can get me those I could translate it for you. The text is Farsi, I think I even know from which book. Just get me better pictures. Pictures of one word at a time wont help.

Speaking of acid, this shield was made by acid-etch technique with some hand engraved touches, and it's a bazaar production. It certainly could have been sold in Syria, just as in any other Eastern or Asian market where acid etch items were produced for the tourist market.

Most of the weapons in history, were purchased in the bazaar.

My shield is old and original.The shield is not tourist.

You've seen the pictures look like before restoration?Acid etching weapons (swords, halberds, shields, etc.) is many hundreds of years ago.

Anyway thank you very much for your opinion.

But I am interested in more than what is written on it.Below is a picture from the 19th century that authentic military weapons (swords, shields) were sold in the bazaar in Syria.So how to translate text on the shield?Thank you.
