Hmm, that word says "Umdurman", it could be an arabic, or an african word.

The date is in hijri, and translates to 1900 on the Gregorian calender.

That is very interesting. There was an arsenal at Omdurman. The knife I post has no date. I am happy in the believe that it is from the most active period of the Mahdist rebellion it fits very well with the other pieces I have. Omdurman would not be supplying the continueing Mahdist unrest post 1898.
