Just a brief response.

The International Coronelli Society [scientific instruments, focussing on
globes of all kind, formats *and ages*] is a world-wide society, based in
Vienna: www.coronelli.org

Assuming you don't get an offer of help from someone in the cartographic
world (including importers) and/or Middle/Near Eastern Studies in North
America, there is an Iranian/Persian map collector/author - with perfect
English (and German!) - whom I could recommend you contact and who still
speaks and writes Farsi.

Good Morning,
       I have attached two images of an Arabic language globe and I need
help
identifying who made it, where and when, if possible. Many times globes are
not dated, but if I can get the publisher or manufacturer, I may be able to
search a bit further. Any assist out there would be welcome and appreciated!
Thanks!
