hi
i dont think it is mop, because the rest of the handle has this green coloured jewel or stone, it has me baffled, and mop would not fit the overall look of this sword. but then again, who knows. and possibly there was a brass or gold inlay where there is an indentation, and i cannot find any dates, but i would like to have the inscription deciphered but it would have to be done in person and no camera would take a true picture. so what age frame? early 19th or earlier?
