What if the 1510 is an Islamic number, would it then be England 2003. The way England is engraved does look rather modern.
It doesnt make sense to have an Islamic calendar date, against the word England. Besides, 1510 hijri is some 82 years in the future. There was a crown and a latin inscription on the hilt, which could have told me something about it, but I forgot to capture that
