The date in particular is interesting and certainly seems to fit with the sword overall.

It's interesting to find a piece with inscriptions that are not religious verses or in the pretty much unreadable Thuluth style.

Colin, congratulations once again on this very fine and I think important piece.
Hey Iain,

Thanks. The main issue is not about it "making sense" but rather what it truely means. I cannot know that at the moment as I cannot find the poem anywhere.

While I could have got the meaning correctly, I still want to be sure :P
