Dime el Aterro

[Gavin Nugent]

Thanks Fernando....the approach I am after....more the angle of my opening query...Some more;

Whilst the "Motto" appears Spanish, is the blade?

Where did it come from?

Is it German or similar with a foreign mark to the blade?

Was the motto to stay in vogue and cutting edge at the time, ie; a marketing concept?

Was the stamp just a trader's stamp, blade made in one place, bought by someone and stamped by him/them and sent for export by that person/s?

Are there swords or sword blades of a pure EU or Hispanic ilk that carry this mark?

I have looked through some of Blair’s work nothing yet, I'll look through Wallace collection again, try Wagner later in the week and perhaps Caravana later too....just throwing it out there in the hope someone more versed in EU blades may have already crossed this bridge....my library isn't geared for EU blades...
