Can anyone decipher markings on Gurade blade?
Hi everybody! Can anyone read these markings on this Gurade blade? Are they of any significance regarding the maker or origin?
Thanks! Zach |

AntSword:
Please read the sticky near the top of the Ethnographic forum index page regarding posting items for translation. We require a picture of the full length sword as well as detailed views of the inscription. This will help readers identify the sword/time period/etc. and give you a more considered answer to your question. Thanks. Ian. |

I have a similar gurade with Zlatoust dated 1853.
Russians supplied old blades to Ethiopia. |
