What oriental marking in bayonet..

[Bruno]

Hy gents,
there is some regular british P1907 Sanderson-made bayonet with all regular british markings - instead this one in pommel..

Wazzit - hindi? urdu? something else?

[Bruno]

Now it seems dari to me.. any other options ??

Looks like Persian to me. Could translate to be 2046. Picture is upside down from how it’s read.

Persian(-farsi) and dari are roughly the same - so, I can conclude, that this P1907 bayonet has been in Afghanistani service..

Afghanistan is possible or near countries.

Now I found those numerals more likely as an urdu (than dari) - what may place this bayo into early Pakistani service..

One is clear so far - atributing of this bayo is getting more and more fancy
