Not seen this one before - stumbled upon it looking at the Wallace Collection in london.

The description says the inscription is in Sanskrit but I don't think so!

Definitely Gurmukhi. Can't make out what it says though.

Do you reckon it's worth contacting them and telling them it's Sikh? Maybe trying to get a hi res image of the text to try and identify it?

If you start from the top left hand corner you can clearly make out "ek onkar", unfortunately the buckle obscures the rest of the text but after the buckle you can make out " Aas Guru Nanak Ji Ki" then the buckle and line below "Jaagihro Pehro Loha" On the right hand side it starts " Saariye --- jeetay Doot Sidaar" Then the buckle and line below " --- din rakhay raat raakhay "
