Hello,
Another Portuguese here, I amplified your photos and I read the same thing "Portugal" with no doubt! The queen for the type of sword refers to queen Maria I of Portugal. Regards, Bv |

Eyesight
Hey Folks, I stand corrected and I am no longer confused: it is Portugal.
Well now, that problem is solved. Is it Maria 1st, or 2nd? The blade seems 1st but the hilt 2nd. Perhaps it was an heirloom passed down then re-hilted. Wow...! Thank-you Folks... Tortuga just did not make sense on any level. |

smith mark
How about the smith's mark and that curious R?
I've looked all through Bezdek's book of German marks and cannot see anything that corresponds. It is German, isn't it? |

common or not?
I have no intention of parting with it - I have a great fondness for trans' raps - but I am curious to know if it is rare or not.
