Hi, it is in Greek but it doesn’t really make much sense the way it is worded but would basically express that the display is decoratively wrapped (perhaps the pewter) because in [URL removed]
- Upper row it shows in [URL removed] “Διακοσμητική Îαυπλίου” that is Nafplion (the town) Decorative Manoliou or Manoliu"
- The second row [URL removed] “χειÏοποίητον” that means " Unchangeable Handmade"..
Brief additional reference about the [URL removed] Nafplio (or Nafplion) is a small town in Peloponnese (Greece). Many times it is also referenced as Nauplio, Nauplia or Nafplia.
Good luck, Monty!

I can’t make out the letters to put them into a translator. Can you make out the letters? If so let us know what they are.
[URL removed] After a second look and going to Wikipedia, they look like the cyrillic alphabet, it’s more like that than German.
