Another example of 'writing on the lion', which reads: "Amel Assad"/"Made by Assad". I think you may have mentioned this one, Rsword:-). I do not think it means anything significant, as Assad means Lion, this could be decoration related.
Alex, this is absolutely wonderful sword and looks fantastic. I saw it before, in uncleaned condition, and now it is simply flawless. Congratulations on owning it!!!
