Thank you all very much for the contribution.
I will be near the sword in 1-2 days and send a better photo. The date though looks like 1151, doesnt it? Althought this seems quite an early date.

If that's in the Arabic calendar, wouldn't that be late 18th century?

This is certainly an arab calendar, as these style of weapons did not exist in the 12th century AD.

Dear Friends,
I took some more photos of the date as closer as i could. As i said the date seems as 1151 (in islamic calendar ofcourse, arround 1740?) but what about the small symbol immediately after the date?

Sorry guys for the very late reply, but my DSL wasnt working for five days in a row, and no other source for internet.Anyway, that date definetly reads 1035, but I really dont no what that is in the euro calendar, anyone here has some sort of converter?
