Middle eastern daggers for comment

dear members,

I recently acquired these daggers that were labelled as Nepalese, which of course they aren't. The Shibriya are no mystery but if anyone could translate/explane the meaning of the stamp that would be great! Age mid 20th century?

The jambiya type I don't recognise, any input on origin would be apperciated. This one seems to have more age to it, the handle is horn and I like the pommel shaped like an arrow. The decoration in the blade itself doesn't follow the curve and would eventually run off the blade, that's a bit odd (or lack of attention to detail).

Kind regards,
Eric.
