Hello Erich,

Now you are making me think this morning.

The markings are Hindi and are probably accountability, or serial numbers.

I know that the first three are 164 and I "think" the last symbol stands for the same as "th" in English. If my memory serves me correctly on this then the markings would say 164th. I was hesitant to translate the symbol as "th" as I could be wrong, if however, if this is correct then it would make one think the number could be the regimental number.

I hope someone with a better grasp of Hindi will add their comments.

Very nice sword.

Regards

Brian
