Mazar i Sharif mark.

The Mazar i Sharif mosque stamp, is also found on firearms made & permantly stored at Kabul.

The same mark appears on Afghan Coins,stamps & flags.

So personaly I see it as rather more a Royal Afghan Symbol of ownership rather than a dedication of where it was made.

Ive had 6 such marked pieces, one was probably a German made {certanly European}double fullered trade bladed sword , others were tulwar type swords,bayonets & a kukri.

The Afghans adopted & copied many weapons, as I expect they still do.
