Okay, with a whole lot of fiddling I think I managed to trick my cell phone camera into being a bit less crappy for a second, but I don't know if it is enough

Don’t think it’s Arabic/Persian. Can’t help with Devanagari or any Indian alphabets I’m afraid

Hi,

I don't see there is any Devanagari script in the stamps.


regards,
Bhushan

The stamp may not contain any letters, as it coulld be the sword smiths mark.
I have tulwars with round and square stamps, some of them are with names, but one of them looks more like two men fighting - so no name, but a sword smiths mark.

It's true for the stamp to the right (I have a similar stamp), but the stamp to the left has letters and even diacritic dots.
