Sabre with unknown origins

Thanks for all the effort. I'm sure he will be happy with that. the tip of the salawar was a bit corroded I gather, and looks like it was not as well etched on the one side...Looks a bit like it was done with a stencil that didn't quite fit.
best regards,
Wayne

He's just sent me some final pics of the salawar after a bit more cleaning (he's a professional restorer by the way, unlike me.) along with his thanks for a job well and speedily done. I've rotated & cropped them a bit to fit the max size here (that's why some have odd corners

) Not sure if that unclear side is any more intelligible.
