No a weapon I know, but here we got some profi translators (Dom, Zifir,..), so Im posting this here. It is a nice turkish emroidery tapestry from sil and bullion. It has inscriptions and tughra. I need a translation of the inscriptions and an ID for the toughra.

Thank you folks and HAPPY 2013 to all of you!

Very nice. I think the other script may be "Allah" though hard for me to determine in the sewing.

I love Ottoman tughras.

but ... hard luck from our side :( ... it's seems to be in Turkish :shrug:
may be "Zifir" will have more ability, in the meantime,
here's a link that lets you search for the "tughra" for your "Ottoman Sirma"

I love Ottoman tughras.Hi Battara
very long argument with my "favorite" translator,
about what you seems have read, as well as me :p

but ... she is formal ... wrong transcription :shrug:
it's not the Holy Name for God ... :o

all the best
