I finally found my schiavona and it is bought and paid for.
It has, however, some unusual markings - to my eyes anyway - and some very unusual markings too. Can anyone cast any light on their provenance and meaning. |

Congratulations, that's a lovely sword. I was also sorely tempted when I saw it on the sellers site.

Congratulations on your beautiful sword!
I belive that the markings on the hilt is Medieval Bosnian script (now extinct) once also used in Dalmatia, which likely spells the name of the sword furnisher. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnian_Cyrillic. We have discussed this on the forum before. |

Those markings ring a bell... I think this might be similar? |
