Hi Patsy,
I think I'm seeing a date: 1204 (the 4 is a bit indistinct... might be a 6) I believe that would equate to: 1790 Gregorian. Which would fit perfectly with Doms estimation of age for the piece. Its a lovely gun. Can we see a picture of the whole thing? Regards Gene |

Hi
I didn't get the translation completly, because it's "farsi" language Arabic alphabet, but not Arabic language  it's little bite like a rebus ...  words are in all directions  up the lign - 1207 either 1792 Gregorian - MOHAMED - ABAD could be a name - the left part it's illegible down the lign - CIRKAR (I thought in farsi) "country" - KHALKHAN either KhalKhan - Badakhshan Afghanistan Badakhshan (Persian: بدخشان - Badakhshān) is one of the 34 provinces of Afghanistan all what is in above must be corrected and approved by a Persian or Patchou reader à + Dom |

Does anyone know a good Persian or Patchou reader? Or an Appraiser on these types of firearms in the NYC area?
