Sorrowfully, I'm unable to decipher the numbers. WOW! These inscriptions are harder to define and read far more than those on Dhu'l-Faqar! So your accountant was unable to read the "Farsi" inscriptions? Then these inscriptions are not Farsi, I suggest.

Please forgive me, Ibrahiim, but I'm doing what I could possibly do regarding reading these inscriptions. Please forgive me for my limitations, buddy!

Yours faithfully,

Salaams Ahmed, The latest information from friends who just returned from Doha is that the Museum had an exhibition of weapons from the era you mention...and just recently.
You are doing great on these inscriptions on blades...many thanks.
