Ethiopian saber - request for blade ID and supplier

roanoa · 16th April 2020, 02:41 PM

Hi, Martin. I have seen 3 or 4 so far of swords with one of the languettes marked like this. Also found a couple with the G.G. marking. The common one is the letter M in the Amharic alphabet. The other languette is always the Lion of Judah. The original blades are those with MENELIK and KUDDUS GHIORGIS engraved on the blade. The blade has been replaced. Looks Hungarian (???)_. N & H is most likely the importer of the sword originally made by Eickhorn in Solingen.
