Hi,

It reads " Ko r vi Sa 1942" in the Devanagari Script. Most likely an armory mark.

Need better and inverted snaps for the dotted script.


Regards,
Bhushan

Default date

Thankyou for any information

I think the date inscription is easy to read 1742 in hindi or devengari I posted the devengari numbers.India has as many languages as states and over the century the writing of letters and numbers has changed.

Default dotted inscription 1

The image is in its correct position .Their are 5 letters J ? R Y P These are the letters the second symbol I don't Know.I have only translated the symbol to a letter If you were to read this in hindi it would make a word.

At first I thought it was a name of a person My guess is its the name of a place maybe a town where the weapon was made im thinking north india?
