Hello Teodor,

Thank you for your input, and by all means, allow me to include Ariel by name in my short list of requested expert opinions... You shouldn't be surprised I included you by name - relative to my complete lack of expertise on the kindjal, everyone looks like an expert to me!

BTW, it is relatively small, with an OAL of +/- 14.5 inches / 368.3 mm.

So how certain are you the script is Arabic? Using my limited (knowledge and) resources, I tried to match the script to what resources are available to me, but came up empty. I'll shoot Dom a PM requesting his input on the same. Thanks again...

Regards,

Chris
