Although these Greek inscriptioned blades could posibly be Brâncoveanu's, it is worth mentioning that the medalio with Mother and Child (and 2-3 candles) apears on blades with Latin/Cyrilic wrinting as well, here are a few (see attached)

If anybody knows other blades with these features, please feel fre to post them. Also if anybody knows where these blades come from.

Thank you for your contributions.
============================
I found Marcu Beza's paper: Noui urme romanesti la manastirea Sinai si la Ierusalim. In: Boabe de grau, An V, 1935, nr. 9, p. 552-565.

Problem is, nobody knows how the sabre ended up at the Holy Tomb monastery treasury. Beza, working with the assumption that it trully is Brâncoveanu's sabre, postulates that it may have been a gift given to the patriarch, on one of his many visits to the Wallachian prince. The handle is made of ivory, according to him.
