Hi Kubur.

I am sure that this is part stamp of arsenal (factory workshops) in Kabul "Mashin Khana". Here are examples of these hallmarks in comparison with the stamp on the shamshir.
The arsenal in Mazar-i-Sharif was exclusively engaged in the repair of artillery guns and rifles. In Bukhara, there has never been a mass center for the production of weapons in which stamps similar to that stamp are placed, which we see on shamshir and other objects from Afghanistan.
