MARMI New Member Serbia (Srbija) 3 Posts	Posted 02/10/2015 07:30 am Hi guys, Thank's for the quick responses! I apreciate your effort alot! Medieval I managed to detect a year to 1803-1804 so if you sai 1800 than I was close. Mass I though that it could be either maker or owners name. Can you translate the name and/or title if there is any? Regards Report this Post to the Staff

MARMI New Member Serbia (Srbija) 3 Posts	Posted 02/12/2015 1:31 pm Mass, Thank's alot for your help and effort! I apreciate it alot! To conclude it could mean: " owner Hasan Ben Mahmud Hawajah 1800 or 1801" Concerning that this rifle is found in Serbia (Balkans), I asume that "Ben" is a title and could also mean "Begh" which is comon title in Balkan during Ottoman empire. "Mahmud" can be found as last name "Mehmedovic". "Hawajah" I can't put in any context other as it is. Anyway thank's again and Best Regards! Report this Post to the Staff
