Hi Chris

after some difficulties ... HERE WE ARE

KHARTOUM SANA 1123 H. either KHARTOUM YEAR 1711 A.C.

DOREBA B OMDOUMAN either MADE IN OMDOURMAN

no mention about "tomb" ... "shrine" ... sorry

I don't guess that the date is related with fabrication
- the date has to be linked with Khartoum
- Omdouran linked with the place of blacksmith
no more ... at least, it's my point of view

very nice "épée"

à +
