The ink stamp pictured below is on the bottom of a 70's A. Zildjian 20" Pang. The INCH and CENTIMETER designations are similar to those seen on early Sabians. The Arabic script is nothing I've seen ink stamped. The embossed stamping indicates it is made in USA. Any thoughts?

Just thinking aloud here, I have a ufip class that is stamped in centimeters and inches,although it is smaller than the 20" designation,and matches the centimeter designation,I wonder if Zil stamped the CM because at one time the U.S. was supposed to go metric,or if this cymbal was for the canadian or european
market.

That's correct. All cymbals with this stamp are European issues.

That's part of the rest of the stamp, so yes.
