Default Nimcha: Please help with markings
I just received this Nimcha. There is one fish shaped stamp (a maker’s mark?) and also a couple lines of what might be text, but I can’t even make out what script it is supposed to be. It looks too orthogonal to be Arabic. Help would be greatly appreciated.

I also include a couple pictures comparing this sword to my “Zanzibar type” Saif.
