Hi Joe
here we are
at least, with the help of a second translator, we got the meaning of the sentence

the sentence on the barrel (same for both)
ALLAH SHARA IN JIHAD AL BEY'KA LA either; WE ARE READY FOR HOLY WAR (Jihad) IF GOD WILLING

what look like to be a stamp (?) from the blacksmith (?)
TA'HEB either; TA'HEB (no translation coze should be a name)

an other mark, no idea for what should be ?? (it's not a date )
MAZ'B AL ?????
I leave it for more qualified than us ...

à +

Dom

ps: all transposition from arabic to european writing are respected the arabic direction of reading, I mean; from right to left
