Inscription on Indian Mailshirt for ID.
My guess is this is that a 17th century indian mail short.
Inside the plate there is an inscription :Signature or what else ? Any comment on it would be welcome. Best Cerjak |

Hi,
The first line of the devanagri inscription possibly reads ' Mah raja Shri Anup Singh '. The second line I cannot decipher. May be ascribed to Maharaja Anup Singh of Bikaner 1669/1698. Best, ASingh PS. Sorry for the double post |
