I think you have two inscriptions from two different times/places.
The one with Me fecit Solingen has "E"s that you often find in XVIIth German exports into Spain, imitating a sort of Spanish XVIth c. script. You find many swords attributed to SEBASTIAN HERNANDEZ, with that sort of "E"s. On the other hand, NEC TEMERE NEC TIMIDI is not a motto that you find in Spanish swords. Its "E"s are more an Italian (standard) type. Maybe your knife (and possibly some Scottish backswords) could have started life as a double edge blade. I put Sebastian Hernandez and sword in google, and I got this officers 1728... Last edited by midelburgo; 14th August 2020 at 12:25 AM. |
