A firangi from the Bikaner armoury

Yes Rick, the dot marks are from the Bikaner armoury, but I don't know what the other letters mean.

Bali, thank you for trying.

Yes Spiral this is interesting, and as the one inscription is an armoury mark, the other one could, maybe, be a personal marking. Another possibility could be, that the letters were on the blades, and the blades were looted after a battle, and brought to the Bikaner armoury, where they were marked again. I doubt that we will ever know as long as we don't know whet the text says.
