Thanks! Could you solve these signs as well Mr. Green?
Three more with a 'simple' script. One Celebes ivory handle. One gilded Bugis pendok. One wooden Madura handle. |

The one on the pendok is a calligraphy of Allah and muhammad written inside it
the one on ivory handle is muhammad (in upside down position) the one on madura handle I can not make it... will try to get arabic speaking people to decipher it.. |

Thank you and I would be delighted to find out the last one. The script is very well cut so hope there is anyone who can decipher it.

You're in luck..
Just got the translation from one arabic speaker.. the madurese one according to him is as follows: (loosely translated) An Nafiy = The one who gives benefits Al Kafiy = the one who complete your needs |

Script on handle for translation
Dear collectors,
Can you help me translate what appears to look like Arabic script on an ivory Minangkabau keris handle? |
