Good eye, Jim. Indeed the "dukari" doesn't appear to be scratched as the rest of the blade in the area and could have been added later. I have a attributed Mahdist sword with a similar central fuller, but with Koranic, moon and lion "engravings". Maybe we could push the date to earlier 20th Cent.

Regards,
Ed
