Not shocked at all just less usual in "my" experience and agreed language is not necessarily an indication of a particular 'belief system' but it may be a pointer in some circumstances. My own experience, which is limited, of weapons and related material that incorporates inlaid/inscribed Arabic script/numerals on the whole tend to have an Islamic origin, obviously in this instance that is not the case. ![]() My Regards, Norman. |
