Kindjal, etching / origin assistance

Dear members, just received this kindjal blade which has a worn etching near the base. Maybe someone is able to recognize the entire stamp (which is probably not unique) or the top word in the...

Hi Willem, yes that's it, the hole is coming through at part of the front making the decoration look like a bit like butterfly. Probably wear or by accident, at least I wouldn't make it like that...

my 2 cents; the tang (nakago) seems to be shortened, ending square and I would expect it to be about the same length as the blade part. At the japanese sword forum Nihonto Message Board they have a...

Hi Iain and Ian,

Thanks for your input and I agree, the ferrule near the blade must be an older replacement. But you speak of two ferrules, this is the only one I see. At the end it all seems...

Dear Iain,

I have a knife resembling yours, a bit smaller still. The ferrule near the blade is much more basic, I like the snub nose of the blade.
