Slightly OT help with Islamic silver: Origin and translation

Nice box. Its Sudanese, it says: "shughl Om Durman" work of Om Durman. The date being in gregorian is not strange as it is used in most of the Islamic century now (not sure how old is the practice) the only country which does not use it as far as I know is KSA but they do sometimes for foreign business relations.

Hi Lotfy,
Thanks a lot, it's nice to know his name. How can you tell it's definately from the Sudan?

You're welcome my friend. Om Durman is a name of an area in Sudan rather then a person's name.
