Royal Tiger import out of Ethopia

one of the rifles purchased by the emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie; used, stored & later imported by RTI. The part of that one shown ‘looks nice’, how about the rest of it? Pretty cool medallion, as those things go.

Will that thing spend? Could I get a pull out of a slot machine with it or do a load of clothes at the laundromat?

I'm pretty sure the writing is in Amharic

I've been trying to translate that text also on my guns. I haven't been able to figure it out yet. I'm in no way a linguist but what I've got so far is (ke,ha,ta,?,?,ze,ju). I should probably stick to my day job.
