Default Spanish ?

It seems as the dechiphering of these marks is far from being cracked.
I have been in contact with two specialists in Spanish swords. They both assume they are intrigued by this set up of words, which they had never seen. The approach that this is a call to violence is most improbable. Spanish allusions are basicaly on the pious side and not threat texts. Also the the manner the wording is separated brings no conclusion. Alisandro is not recorded as a Spanish sword smith; maybe an Italian ?
So back to square one, guys .
