Salaam Splinter,

These are 100% Tourist items. please don't tell me you paid a lot for it.

I just passed one on my way home selling almost the same sword (the 1st one). It was overpriced too.

Ywlc. No. Zakariya is the Arabic version of the biblical name "Zechariah". it means God has remembered.

I think it is a name, possibly engraved by the owner to identify it as his own rifle.
