A friend in India has helped with translating the text.


Shri Baldevji Sahay Rup Singh Sangawat Samb(v)at 1911.
Shri Baldevji is the Deva to whom obseience is paid. Rup Singh is obviously the ownern of the piece who belongs to the Sangawat Rajput clan. Samvat is V.S. the Northern Hindu year.

The year looks crudely done (maybe a local variant of numerals) VS 1911 So this is around 1855 AD.
I have a tulwar from Alwar/Ulwar with a closely related text dated VS 1856 - 1799-1800 AD.
