The problem is that it is probably written in Jawi - Javanese/Moro languages written with Arabic script. Not many know how to translate it.

Hi Jose,

Yes, I know. But there were some members here years ago, who were able to help out with these kind of translations on Aceh weapons. Maybe they're not active members anymore....

Some of them aren't, this is true.
