Mystery document under barrel M 1933 Ethiopian Mauser

Member Posts: 3 ✭
I recently purchase an all matching Mauser Standard Modell 1933 long rifle with Ethiopian crest and Lion of Judah markings (serial # A2XXX). Upon disassembly, I found a 4 x 11 inch sheet of paper folded into fourths so it fit in the stock barrel channel under the barrel. The paper was very old, with Amharic(?) or some other Arabic-style writing all over it (see attached partial image, might be upside down!). Can anyone tell me how or where I can get this mystery paper translated? Thanks! - Cleo45

I would humbly suggest that the document may be in Hebrew or in one of the early hacidic proto linguistic drift offshoots...
Many have no idea that the population of Ethiopia while having been invaded and conquered and occupied and ruled by Islamic neighbors that the country largely was and still is made up of Ethiopian Jew's...
Purportedly the lost arc of the covenant is hidden there inside a fortress temple - and more than one Pope has visited - in fact several papel relatives and the children of saints or knights Templar intermarried with members of Ethiopian royal lineage and prominent wealthy merchant traders...
Ethiopia was a major tranship and trading port were essentially Europe and Asia had all their commerce and goods and deals with the tribes of Africa and the Egyptians had to occur in and pass thru the Ethiopians bottle neck militarized fortress choke point and port city.
Fascinating history - Mussolini while dictator of Italy and part of the axis of evil invaded Ethiopia and deposed the grand nagus (no not the ferengi from star trek)...
Negus (Ge'ez: ንጉሥ, nəgueś ; cf. Tigrinya: ነጋሲ negus) is a royal title in the Eritrean and northern Ethiopia Semitic languages.[1] It denotes a monarch,[2] such as the Bahri Negasi (King of the Sea) of the Medri Bahri kingdom in pre-1890 Eritrea, and the Negus in pre-1974 Ethiopia. The Negus is referred to as An-Najashi (النجاشي) in the Islamic tradition
Italy still has not returned the cultural objects they looted - including many of the obelisks - the history of the people is carved into the surface of these pillars of stone like ancient newspaper headlines.
Just a somewhat educated shot in the dark - possibly I may be right.

Edit to add;
Be sure to come back when you get a full translation and share it with us. If you do that over in General Discussion you will be able to have a much longer discussion as Ask The Experts is limited to 10 replies.
On that note, if you go back and edit one of your earlier responses here in ATE you can kinda 'cheat' the system a bit without using up 1 of the 10 allowed replies.
Also, welcome to the forums!
Sorry - thread response error / my fault.
