Hi Stu, I still don't own the sword. I must return to the owner's and get more pics.
I was thinking that perhaps it meant Austrian Republic , but it couldn't be. In German it would be Republik
Von Ostereich, not
Of.
BTW, is there in the forum anyone that can read cyrillic?
Best
Manuel

In reply to your first question----what you show is a proof stamp on a sword. Other than that I can not tell anything further from what you have supplied.
