The mystery continues
Well, I have to confess my surprise!
I cleaned the one side of the blade and nothing and then wonderd if I could be botherd to do the other side, especially as pattina was nice and there didnt appear to be anything underneath.
But then I did, just to balance the thing out and I've found something.
The photo really is as good as it gets, so a full word is unreadable but its clearly a block capital European text. Very shallow and worn away but its there.
So I guess, it certainly is Hungarian trade blade. Well done
I'm now wondering whats under the pattina of all my other swords!!! as this certainly wouldnt have shown up without the serious cleaning.
Cheers
Andy
