Kindjal (translation needs)

[A.alnakkas]

hmm these inscriptions on Kindjals are really hard to read. All i can read is the first word (right to left) and it is عمل Amal which means : work of. Even so it doesnt make full sense because its either damaged or means something else entirely since there is a space between the letter Ma and la which could be just loss to the inscription.

The 2nd word which might be a name i find it very hard to read.

The date could be 1337 if the 3rd number (left to right) has inscription loss.

Well thats three possibilities for the date now: 1327, 1337, 1347.

Do you think the language IS arabic?

Hi Lotfi
you are nearly
our point of view could be:
AMAL MAGUIB either MADE BY MAGUIB
the date is clear 1327 no doubt ...

many thanks!

yay! Dom to the rescue

Dont want to be the party pooper but i really doubt its Maguib.

The word is formed from the following letters : Meem Jeem ba'a ba'a (maybe Ha'a at the end)

The closest readable word i can get from this is Mujabab and it makes no sense to me.

Had a reply 'elsewhere' to the request from back a ways....

Michael came up with this:
"It reads "work of Mohamed something" and the date of 1327 which is 1948"

[A.alnakkas]

No way its Mohammed.

Mohammed in arabic = محمد

This word is something like مجببة

Hi,
1327 A.H. = 1909 A.D. [1327 X 0.97 + 622 = 1909 ]
