Greek Translation Please

[Norman McCormick]

Hi George,
Many thanks for the prompt reply and translation. Is the part that is difficult to read, 'akidenon', the torn section as I may be able to get a better photo of that part if it would help. Many thanks again for your help.
Kind Regards,
Norman.

Norman: Nice looking Rasak. That is so excellent finding that note in the barrel. Congrats. Rick.

I read "Μακεδώνων" (Makedonon)

You are right Sylektis, it is Macedonon. So, maybe in Atalanti was a community from Macedonia, and from that community comes your rifle Norman.

Macedonia is a part of northern Greece.

Hi Sylektis and George,
Many thanks for your efforts on this, I find it interesting that this rifle was deemed to be a weapon belonging to an historic family as early as 1898. The gun has a date of 1825 incised in the brass sheet and I don't presume it to be much older than this, possibly used during the Greek War of Independence? Thanks again chaps.
My Regards.
Norman.

Αlthough I know nothing about rifles, the image of it surely maches with the ones I've seen in museums, speaking of course about the time of Greek Independance from the Ottomans
