Congrats HUSAR,

Sorry I can not be of any help with translations though it seems Jeff and Zifir have drawn the same parallels with their efforts.

As I am sure you and others who have posted know that you have in your posession a truely remarkable sword being what many do consider one of the rarest swords in the world.
Peronally, I would love to see more of it in larger & more detailed images here or privately. This fine example is obviously presentation/wealth/high standing grade and all are not likely to see anything similar for a very very long time if at all as I think it is most likely unique....I can only image what the scabbard looked like.
I'd also love to know more on the dimensions,(blade, hilt, guard, yelman, spine widths and taper), weight and points of balance.
Many thanks for bringing this to the forum to share with us all and I am sure there will be many more ooooos and arrrrrrs to come from other viewers :-)

very best regards

Gavin
