Swords Assortment
 
6 Attachment(s)
Here are some of the swords that came with the strange old guns. There were 7 overall, 4 different Wilkinsons, one Meyer, one Prussian, and one from Japan, There was also one made as a prop for the wall of John Steeds office from the old Avengers series. One Wilkinson seems to be Islamic, I would love to know what it says.

I'm afraid the picture of the arab writing is not sharp enough for a translation.

You should show the complete sword as well as a reward for the translator. :)

It is a hard one to photograph, no matter which angle you get it from, there is glare due to the blade shape. I will try again when I get home.
