Default 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.
