ACEH COJANG FOR TRANSLATION ,MALAY/ARABIC INSCRIPTION / STRANGE DATE

[Rick]

Jawi perhaps ?

Its Jawi. From the unclear picture I can deduced that the inscription reads as follows " lapan haribulan Rabiul Akhir" or "eight (8th) of Rabiul Akhir (a name of month in Islamic calendar).

Thank you Jentayu,

These are pictures of the seller.
As I was not sure about the date I posted also a "mirrored" picture.

I hope to have the piece in hands later this week and will post better pictures then.

Thanks in advance btw for the quick response.

Best regards,
Willem

Great to see you grabbed it Willem!
A very nicely carved hilt, and sure the text as a bonus, as it wasn't mentioned when it was for sale!
