Mysterious Markings on a Kaskara...

Actually I saw a kaskara on ebay recently with an inlaid star on the blade. It was a quite rough looking blade, not imported - more like what you might expect on an average takouba (in terms of quality).

Did anyone else see it?

I saw a "bird" recently and a "crown" which might actually be a "comet"...

I'm still not sure about the mysterious marking on my blade - did the arsenal at Omdurman have a marking?
