Hi everybody! Can anyone read these markings on this Gurade blade? Are they of any significance regarding the maker or origin?

Thanks!

AntSword:

Please read the sticky near the top of the Ethnographic forum index page regarding posting items for translation. We require a picture of the full length sword as well as detailed views of the inscription. This will help readers identify the sword/time period/etc. and give you a more considered answer to your question.


Thanks.


Ian.

I have a similar gurade with Zlatoust dated 1853.
Russians supplied old blades to Ethiopia.

As this sword is currently being offered for sale I am closing this thread until further notice.
