bj211,

First I wish to join into the remarks of the other members in the thread of Micheal's pedang. Your contributions to this forum gives another dimension to our hobby. I understand that the pictures are not clear enough. Besides that the blade is very pitted through rust.
I tried to write down the writing on a sheeth of paper and made two pictures of it so I gues one picture is upside down. I just coppied the writing on the paper with the sword in front of me.
Please would you be so kind to take another look at it? I would really apreciate it.

Thanks in advance, Henk

DEAR BJ!
Many many thanks for your effort. Even small information could be helpful.
"SHAMSHIRI" - is it the same what SHAMSHIR is? Any thoughts?

All the Best!

Dear Henk,

I took a good look at the script you wrote, and at the pictures again.
Unfortunately I couldn’t figure it out. And believe me, it took me some time to do that

It’s just not adding up. Each word or phrase is messing something.

Some times,when looking at a script, I get lucky and solve the mystery, just by figuring one word of the whole thing, and from there I work till I get it all clear.
BUT … this one!!! Not even one word…….Yet

The thing that I see clearly and don’t even have a meaning for it “yet” is this combo of letters accruing many times in the script.

I’ll show this to a friend of mine, he’s got a good eye too for stuff like this. Maybe he can see something that I don’t. if he gets it, I’ll let you know for sure.

Sorry again, I wish that I could be more helpful my friend

..Wolviex..

Yes. Indeed it’s the same thing.

SHAMSHIR is a noun
&
SHAMSHIRi is an adjective. (and it is used in a sentence to describe something)

A good example, I think, would be:
This guy is from YEMAN. So he must be a YEMANi

(Now this is all in Arabic of course)

hope this helps

bj211,

Thank you for your effort. I hope your friend can figure something out.

I noticed the repeating letter combination also. Don't excuse yourself, because it isn't a clearly arab language aparantly. If the sword is a yagathan, the writing should find its history in Turkey or surrounding countries.

Thanks for your help so far, I really apreciate it.
