Sword "No Me Satues Sin Razon"

Cleaning out garage loft and found another item that's been in the family for decades....not sure where it came from. I am attaching a few photos. Can someone identify?

Thanks

Without pictures and with the interesting title you have posted, I will presume the words are found on the blade. This is known as 'the Spanish motto', and is typically found on Spanish colonial blades from latter 18th c. Mexico.
You might read the thread 'Markings Found on Mexican Swords' which discusses these blades and swords that often carry them.
Naturally more can be revealed with photos.
Best regards,
Jim
