Old Spanish Colonial Sword with Inscription

That looks fantastic! I know nothing of these things but Spanish speaking America is more than Mexico. Could it be from Peru or countries there abouts, all fighting wars of independence. It might also have its origins in a parade context. I like it very much, I will commit it to memory.

Just for the record...

"Recuerdo Republicano" could be translated, in a first read, either as "Republican Memory" or "Republican Souvenir".
It lacks a lot of grammar to be "In Memory of the Republican" (which would be "En Recuerdo del Republicano"), even considering that articles and such are the first things to fall from the sentences that are found in bladed weapons...
