Sorry!
Here are the images and thank you AJ1356 for the translation. I have tried to fill the second cartouche with chalk, does it help any? The second sword here is unusual, and unfortunately missing a quilllon. I believe this is a form of Lucknow hilt and the engravings on the hilt include the stork, corn and anglo/heraldic device on the langet. I think the parasol mark may indicate that it was associated with a royal armoury. There is also some additional inscription under the plating toward the hilt, hard to make out. If anyone has any suggestion for safely removing the plating I would be grateful though I am inclined to let time do the work, as it is flaking away. |
