.
Overall 175 cm and 132 cm in blade . The blade has two bladessmith’s marks ( one crowned dragon and one imperial eagle) also one celestial mask ,a sun in splendour IHS trigram . The Ricasso are engraved with JESU and MARIA and the fullers are with many punches nearly till the tip. The pommel with polygonal sides of type 32 ( AVG NORMAN P254) could be dated from late 16th century early 17th century. Later I will post close pictures from the full blade. Of course any help for identification will be welcome , I already have applied for the support of Jasper who has already decipher some punches . “IN TE DOMES SIE “ ( in your name) Best Cerjak |

Hi Jean-Luc
Great sword, mon ami... with a great problem in deciphering the inscription. I guess that the words being in Latin is less of a problem than discerning the actual letters 'inserted' into the grooves ... at least doing the job from pictures. Maybe having the sword in your hands things are not so complicated. So if you 'burn your eyelashes' for a few hours and manage to read the letters, members versed in Latin will easy translate the wording. Easy to say, isn't it ? ![]() |
