help with talismanic inscription
Hello forum members!
I recently purchased a tulwar from the tirri collection! On the blade is an inscription. It does not seem to be a word or phrase but rather single letters, number or symbols? Is anyone able to translate this? also, there seems to be a orange circle..does this signify anything? thanks! |

I think this inscription is upside down. I rotated it for you. What I see are Arabic numbers with possibly one exception at the beginning at the right side.

Im not familiar with Arabic numerals but I seem to see the following: 2 6[?] 9 [with something else?] 3[?] and a 5. Seems to be a random set of numbers? But maybe linked to the first word on the right?
Any idea on what that might say? |

Very beautiful example! Congratulations!
The blade may benefit from some cleaning.  I have no idea what the cartouche inscription says but it appears to intact.
