yes Zildjian are the name of a brand of cymbals (of which I have 8). The company is about 400 years old.

They come from Constantinople (now called Instanbul), and are now made worldwide.

thanks for your help guys.

does it help you guys to work it out when i remove the other text?

I found this: It is the Turkish alphabet

My guess now is that it says Constantinople in Turkish.

You are right, that's why I sais that it's not an Arabic word, and does'nt mean Constantinople, because the Arabic name of Constantinople is :القسطنيطينية

What does the "k" in K.ZILDJIAN mean? maybe the texte mean it!! I don't know.

Thank you for the Turkish Alphabet

One of the founders of the company was called Kerope Zildjian. Hence K. Zildjian.

Not easy... They changed their alphabet long ago :-)
Thumbs up for finding this Turkish alphabet, I somehow new that they once used the Arabic writing system in turkey, but I couldn't find it!!

For those interested, this is a good article (in French) regarding linguistic reform in Turkey: Turquie: la révolution linguistique d'Atatürk

Yes they don't use the Arabic alphabet !

Kerope? I still can't find it in the calligraphy. Mysterious !!
