Turkish Dagger Translation Help

[TVV]

Dom,

Isn't the name of the Prophet Mohamed written the same way everywhere in the Islamic world, from the Maghreb to Sumatra? If so, then the blade could be from virtually anywhere, right?

I am just wondering if names can be used to indicate whether the writing is Arabic or Turkish.

Thank you,
Teodor

the people are writing, as they are speaking ... logic
in West Africa e.i. "Mamadou" means "Mohamed" ...

Dom,

Thanks for the clarification - I thought there was a cannon when it came to the spelling of the Prophet's name and did not realize it could vary based on the local pronounciation.

I guess this means the blade is not Turkish or persian, which means India is a very likely option.

Thank you,
Teodor
