If someone would dare trying to translate the text on the blade, I will upload some close ups...
Come on, Maurice, post'em close-ups!

Left side of the blade is orientated correctly (sequence right to left, i.e. base of blade to tip).

The right side is upside down - just flip it over (after doing the left side pics) and again go from the base of the blade towards the tip...

Superb find!!!

Could you take a picture of the hilt from the side facing down (along the edge)?
It might be the rarer Garuda-variation, instead of the regular makara/flower bud.

I was going to suggest "Made in China" but you beat me to it.

Sorry for deserting this thread - going to add more soon.

Regards,
Kai
