It's Farsi (Iraqi). There should be a funny looking triangle-looking thing on the knox form. If that's not there, then the ID disc came from a different rifle.
I took an ID disc sort of like that to work one day, and a Persian co-worker translated it something (roughly) of "army of Iraq" and a rack number. This was many years ago and I have forgotten the exact translation.
Hope this helps
The bottom is a number, 1079 the top translates to, H ? T, the middle letter I can't make it out or what it is ? see link below
Arabic alphabet, pronunciation and language
i double-checked the nock's form. it is blank, except for green paint which covers the metal under the wood, and cosmoline -- which covers the green paint. :)
so best guess, the Iraqi disk was added at some point. thank you!!!!
i really like the milsurps forum. experienced people show patience with noobs like myself. i appreciate it very much :thup:
