It reads (with spaces added)

कारीगर वीर नांणरे [?] वास जोधपुर जात सुथार

कारीगर = Artisan
वीर नांणरे [?] = Name of the artisan Vira Nanare [?]
वास जोधपुर = Native of Jodhpur 
जात सुथार = Of the Suthar (carpenter) caste

The language is Hindi/Rajasthani, and the text simply gives the name of the artisan who made this. This carpenter was from Jodhpur and belonged to the Suthar (carpenter) community. 

Looks like a hand made gun or pistol from Rajasthan.
