Tomas De Aiala sword blade.
Hi,
Blade length 37 1/4 inches (94.5 cm) tang length 6 1/8 inches (15.5 cm). On one side TOMAS DEAIALA or TOMAS DEAIAIA other side IESVS MARIA. The I in Jesus looks like a J but upon close inspection it appears to be an I. I know there are many period and later blades with spurious markings but I'm not sure with this one. Looking forward to your thoughts.
Regards,
Norman.
P.S. Please excuse the photography I have no camera at the moment so the wife's phone and a little jiggery-pokery on the computer was all I could do so the photos may appear a bit photoshopped with an odd colour temperature.
