Hi Sue,

Welcome to the Forum.

You are far more likely to get a response if you embed your images as very few people will click on links.

Thank you very much for your advice sorry new to this, Took me ages to work out how to put on a link- how do I embed photos?
Thanks

With Photobucket they give a choice of links, choose the one with 'img' tags, from memory it's the bottom of the list, marked something like 'for forums and message boards'.

I agree that the marks are almost certainly Arabic, but I will leave it to someone more knowledgeable to make a definite identification.

Certainly not Russian marks.

Hello David,

I pray you are well. It's Farsi as used in Persia (Iran). We do have a few members that can translate it for us.

Thank you so much for your help and time and for sharing your knowledge . I will definitely be using this forum again as I am new collector in this field.
I would be fascinated to know the translation if there was anyone with that knowledge.
Thanks
Sue
