Hi Chris
This list was given to me by an antique Arms seller in Oporto, when i was mentioning a curious inscription engraved in an old sword blade mounted in one of my sword sticks. The only other time i had seen such inscription was in a XVIII century sword i saw at the Military Museum of Oporto:No al amor que no cause tromento ( in one side); Se no es firme conesta me lopagaras ( on the other side ). Quite sugestive, don't you think ? and also with a little mispelling.
Do you want me to go deep into the navajas inscription list origin ?
