nice kindjal, but pity than the pics are dark :o

according to the writing of the date, it's not written in Arabic, but "Farsi"
phonetically, what is written and reads in a vertical, would be ± "benjal" (??)
that under reserve and without warranty, coze, the "farsi" it's out of our competence ...

the date is 1324 Hegire (H. I suppose*) what means 1906 Gregorian
(I said "I suppose" because, in this area, too many calendars, between Chi'ite, Middle-East Churches ...)
but the date that I translate, seems make sense :p
