Apologies for my tardiness
Good morning
Firstly my apologies for not responding to my own post sooner, however I have been extremely time poor of late.
Jim, I have attached close ups of Anchor mark for you, and the more I look at this sword the more I agree it has a cut down rapier blade.
Richard, how did you know my eyesight is not as good as it was? I must confess my translation of the letter was my best guess. I am more than happy to explore the possibility that the inscription is xx LS x XISI xx.
Jasper, if the letters are IX XINI, would that make the blade Italian (Sicily) do you think?
Cheers Cathey and Rex
