What about the linear engraving above the top line of script? Seems almost crude (as does the design work on the hilt IMO) - electric engraver, maybe? It would seem if it was done by hand, the top and bottom (engraved) lines would be more similar than they are - as it is, the bottom line looks like one continuous line, while the top line looks sporadic and 'choppy'... ![]() |

Here i am; better late than ever ... but with no helpful input, though
![]() I wouldn't reject the idea that it belongs to the Spanish universe; Mediterranean, like Chris feels. Impossible (at least for me) to discern what is in the text; i don't have cataracts but glaucoma, instead ![]() Probably is one of these things you can only figure out at naked eye; sometimes pictures are frustrating ![]() Fernando |

Hi,
i guess it may be german in a old way of handwriting called sütalin. I cant read it in this pictures. Last night will be "... nicht" which means ... not. The first word is "Mein" = mine If i get better pictures i can show it to my parents, perhaps they can read it. regards Dirk |
