Philippine Insurrection swd. or Espada Ancha swd.?
I recently purchased this sword at auction and it was listed as a Spanish-Mexican Colonial Espada Ancha sword which is certainly possible, however upon cleaning I noticed some inlaid writing and motifs carved into the blade that made me wonder if it could be Philippine Insurrection.The sword blade measures approx. 25.5 " and has seen heavy use as pictured.
Any help would be appreciated as to it's origins . |
