Thanks so much Norman and Fernando...wow!...that was fast!
I looked up the Latin translation on the web and got a number of translations...most didn't seem to make sense. The one I used in the starter thread was the most sensible to me. |

Ahhh it surfaces again! Enjoy!
I was amazed when Artzi sold it without spending a few minutes researching its provenance... Its one of the famous lost treasures of Stowe... linky for the lost... Spiral |

Spiral,
Thanks so much for your input, link, and info. You have turned what appeared to be an average vestige of the British Raj into a real piece of fascinating history. Thanks again for such enlightening info! |

Here is another Mughal sword with Latin crest. It is not of same provenance, but I think of the same British Raj concept. What's interesting here is that the blade has similar cartouches on both sides, and there is another, older Islamic cartouche barely visible under the new one on the right side. Thank you for any ideas of origin and potential background!
