Translation Help Please
Hi,
A question for those versed in other languages. This symbol is present on a little knife I have here and I do wonder if anyone knows what it says or means? If anyone knew the armours stamp that too would be very awesome! Gav |

A picture of the complete knife would be nice.

And the prize goes to...

The hilt exhibits similar styling to the bone handled one here; http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=Bichaq The difference is that it has steel and brass wire inlay, pique work only at the "eagle" head and has 4 big old mine cut rubies mounted on it, though saying this, not being a jeweller, they could just be faceted glass(jewelers report to follow). Now, back to the translation??? Gav |
