Default Khyber Knife

Hi all, it's been ages since I posted anything. Work, family and a feeling of inferiority in knowledge has kept me from posting as I only seem to ask, not give from the more academic collectors in the Forum. My apologies again for asking, I aspire to be more active in the future and hopefully add to the wealth of knowledge within it.

I purchased this Khyber knife at auction a few years ago. There were two swords in the lot, the first was a nice damascus French sword which I now believe to be an Indian fake. The second sword is this sword form Afghanistan.

I'm hoping someone can read the Arabic inscription. After looking at it for a few years I think it says : Made by ....

The thoughts of the Forum are most welcome.

Greg

I'll post the fake shortly as the is a valuable lesson there as well.
