Bonjour,

Yes, Jens, you are right : they are deeply stamped smith's marks and the reading sens is now the right one too.

Thanks to Ward for his translations and i apologize for the lack of sharpness of the pics, as you imagine, never easy to catch.

Ward, are they arabic characters?

It is very possible that these barrels had been made by Moslem craftsmen (Arabic or Indians) in South of India.

With my sincere thanks to you both.

Yes, they are Arabic. Maker's name preceded by 'Aml, which means Work of.
Still looks like Halui to me

Hello, Ward.

I shall do my best to provide a clearer closer pics. Not easy as you imagine....

Maybe you can have a glance to my other thread which is Help for ID - Afghan musquet.

I join a pics of this writing and you would help me greatly to try to translate it.
Maybe it's the craftman's name, maybe it's a city's name...

See U.
