Default Greek Translation Requested

Hi All,

I recently got this little knife and can read the 1913 but the rest is Greek to me (I couldn’t resist). Can anyone give me a translation? The blade is 6” (15.24 cm) long. The hilt scales appear to be dyed bone. No Sheath.

Sincerely,
RobT

Default You Gotta Be Kiddin' Me

Well, given the thin blade (about 1/16" [1.57 mm] thick just before the bolster), I was pretty sure it wasn't a fighting blade but I didn't expect so much love. On the other hand, I'd bet that, if the woman's father or significant other suspected who the blade's owner was writing about, there would have been a fight. Thank you for the translation Sylektis. I certainly didn't expect anything like it.

Sincerely,
RobT
