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

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.

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?
