Very interesting piece.
IMHO it is 1930. Western calendar. It matches with latin letters. I suppose they used to give prestige to a local factory. Afghanis used to copy western rifles, british mostly, and their trademarks.
What it puzzles me are these marks like "cuts" on the hilt. They look they made after market and on purpose. They do not look like natural age marks. Did anyone was counting something?
