well analyse TVV, it's just a date
nothing to do with a verse or a chapter of Holy Koran
Jim,
you know, it's relatively common, when a blacksmith personalize a blade sometime with;
- Koranic dedicate,
- and, or the owner name's,
- and, or his own name,
- AND a date of issue
as the space isn't too wide, but long, on a blade
the mentions are, one after the other without at first view a logic
just a pratical sense may help you to make a repartition;
- the religious invocation are well know and often repetitive,
- the mention "made by"
"name" indicate the blacksmith
- the mention "made for"
"name" indicate the owner
- the mention
"with digits" Hegira date
never forget that some engravers are not Arabic speakers,
even Arabic writers, but just they just copy something without sense for them
I just regret do don't have a chance to see a pic for the whole weapon
best regards
