Thanks for that. The numbers in Arabic are engraved at both sides. 1345 is also inscribed within the crescent on the other side.

Yes. These are Syrian. This type of heavily fullered blades can be made in various styles, including short, double edged. Shibriya, Khanjar style etc.

This particular qama is fully made in Syria.
