Abanese khanjar, translation calligraphy
 
3 Attachment(s)
Dear members,

a friend of mine acquired this very nice, most likely Albanian khanjar. Happy for him:D

At the base of the blade there is some gold arabic calligraphy on one side, searching your help for the translation. If there is a year number I don't see it...

Also the scabbard seems to have a silver proof, maybe this indicates a region or timeframe?

thanks in advance,
Eric.

The stamp on the scabbard may be some sort of tughra?

Thanks, Indeed it does have "that look".

btw now I see I made a typo in the title, of course I meant ALbanese.
