Good morning Teodor and thanks for your help, I thought the ‘circular’ imprint might have been some form of inscription but these marks are to be taken as a whole for reasons as you say. Best wishes.

A very nice nimcha with respectable age! Celestial symbols are frequently found on blades made in Europe for export. The crecent moon symbol on this sword is of a form strongly suggesting European manufacture, but this symbol has since been widely copied on locally produced blades. These marks are frequently found on takouba and kaskara blades.
