Translation Help Please

[Gavin Nugent]

Hi,

A question for those versed in other languages. This symbol is present on a little knife I have here and I do wonder if anyone knows what it says or means? If anyone knew the armours stamp that too would be very awesome!

A picture of the complete knife would be nice.
(Not that this inscription rings a bell with me :shrug: )

I would back you with them odds ;)

The hilt exhibits similar styling to the bone handled one here;

The difference is that it has steel and brass wire inlay, pique work only at the "eagle" head and has 4 big old mine cut rubies mounted on it, though saying this, not being a jeweller, they could just be faceted glass(jewelers report to follow).

Now, back to the translation???

Outstanding Dom, I was hoping you'd come in :) . That eliminates one possibility, now I am sure there are dozens more out there. Being Australian I have not got a clue.

thanks guys.
