Is anyone able to translate this? I had my friend from Israel try to translate it as I thought it was Arabic, but he thinks its Hebrew (cursive) and his dad thinks its neither.I originally thought this was a bi-product of the Arab & Nazi alliance in the 2nd world war, now I'm just plain baffled
It was left to me by my father who passed away in 2015, he always told me it was Arabic.
I have included pictures of every angle of the writing because I'm just plain not sure if its the right way up or not
The second image is the right way up.

The bayonet would have been stamped in 1902, likely in Thailand (then called Siam)
