Wooden container for I.D

It looks to me as though someone has used the centre section of a Naga spear with the hair, re-attached the bottom spike and added the top piece. For use as a rest or crutch ?

An old friend of mine worked on a tea plantation in the 50's for a couple of years. He told me that there was quite a problem with tools going missing for "recycling".

Afghan Choora / Karud with stamps for I.D

I'm guessing it is an Afghan sharp pointy thing.

Well made with close fitting bone grips.

Quite small at only 30 cms long

What is unusual are the markings.

Any one know what they are ?
