Russian, Bulgarian, Belorossijan, Ukrainian or Serbian are possible, even probable - but not Turkish. I had the sig mirrored, inverted and upside downed but that did not help. It may be cursive cyrillic.

I've rotated it so many times now i am not sure which is the way it started :huh:
Do you read it through the base, or with the glass upside down? At least that would narrow it down to 2 choices.
I think i have it down to l'iiiiilN'hi, who as far as i can tell are not one of the big boys. The other one is exactly the same both acid etched so it must be a "proper make"
If i could work the 1st letter Replacement.com would probably do the rest for me

If cursive cyrillic you'd start with Stshu - but it really is not for us mortals to decypher.

It almost looks like an badly-etched Cambri..., in a sort of Germanic text with the last few letters not printed. But Cambridge was always C in a triangle, wasn't it?
