Execution sword ???

[milandro]

I am sorry to say but this screams " modern fantasy weapon" , at least, to me.


the motto is also a well known one

it means the " word" (of G-D) has become flesh


a quick search reveals a few supposed execution sword , very different from your example, which are supposedly dated 17th century,i have my doubts on those too but at the very least those weapons look like the accepted version of an execution sword (a sharp and long edge sword with a rounded, not sharp, tip).

I invite you to reflect upon the fact that if anything NO execution blade could ever have a jagged edge ( at least not in the ancient act of justice) because it would be an effective weapon for a short, swift cut.


Similarly, this blade is far too short to have ever been used for a swift cut, for the same reason these blade (the real ones are extremely rare) would need to be long to create the necessary momentum.



I am absolutely convinced the example above is a modern blade



IT may be, as suggested a repurposed agricultural tool, but the addition of the motto is certainly done with the intent to deceive
