Dom, you are an absolute treasure on these inscriptions!!! Not only can I not read these Arabic inscriptions, here I couldnt even recognize the characters, and was patently incorrect in assuming such inscriptions did not occur in hilt decoration. Thank you for stabilizing my perspective on these fascinating weapons, and a valuable addition in understanding them....a beautiful example P.S.Willems!!!! Please show the entire koummya OK?

Good call Teodor!!!

All the best,
Jim
