Thanks Gentlemen

Excuse my ignorance of this region, but why would the Town's name be written in Arabic rather than Cyrillic ?

Royston,

Keep in mind that many of the ethnic groups from this region are devoutly Muslim.

In my mind that date, as written, indicates the Russian influence combined with the Arabic alphabet.

Really no shocker at all for the region.

BTW, a lovely and unique example, and one of the most interesting ones I have seen in some time.
