Any ideas on the seal? What it says? I am continuing to look and try to have translated.

Going from left to right and top to bottom I can decipher "Hamid Abud" but that is only part of the top line and I cannot seem to get the rest. Any help once again is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Patsy,
I think I'm seeing a date: 1204 (the 4 is a bit indistinct... might be a 6)
I believe that would equate to: 1790 Gregorian.
Which would fit perfectly with Doms estimation of age for the piece.
Its a lovely gun.
Can we see a picture of the whole thing?

Regards
Gene

Hi

I didn't get the translation completly, because it's "farsi" language
Arabic alphabet, but not Arabic language

it's little bite like a rebus ...

words are in all directions

up the lign
- 1207 either 1792 Gregorian
- MOHAMED
- ABAD could be a name
- the left part it's illegible

down the lign
- CIRKAR (I thought in farsi) "country"
- KHALKHAN either KhalKhan - Badakhshan Afghanistan
Badakhshan (Persian: بدخشان - Badakhshān) is one of the 34 provinces of Afghanistan

all what is in above must be corrected and approved by a Persian or Patchou reader
