Hi all,

A friend of mine recommand this forum to me. I'm glad that many knowledgable people contribute here.

There are two blades that I have no idea and would like your opinons: which country, what style, period and what's the meaning of the letters?

The first is mine, there is inlaid gold in the flower design. The second I didn't bought.

Thanks very much!
