Lew,

You broke an important rule!!

For a translation you have to show the entire piece as well. Otherwise Dom will forget his tongue

and we all wish to enjoy a good piece.......

It's a name, the first is Mohamed abda "something" I can't make it out, maybe abdasab or abdarab abdaran. Also, numbers 1316=1898. Maybe something in the upper left too but I cannot tell.

LOL ...

let's go for the translation, or what we are able to read without knowing, or understanding the exact signification

on top .. at left
223 ???
under (middle line)
ABDENNE MOHAMED eitherABDENNE MOHAMED (Abdenne could be (?) a name)
last line, as well as Michael gave the signification, a date
- 1316 either 1898

I feel that I bring more questions that I answer to questions ...

That's a most beautiful dagger of this kind I've ever seen!

Dreaming to obtain a similar one somewhere.
