Dom: I had it translated by two spanish speaking people. According to both
It translates to "FOR MY LAW, FOR THE KINGS LAW". The inscription is exactly the same on both sides. I think the blade would date to the middle
1800s. The ganja is of the older style, almost straight. A little different type
of handle wrap that i haven't seen before. Hard to tell if the crest of the
ivory hilt was made that way or if it has been broken at some point. The
patina is the same, so i think if it's a break then it's an old one.....Dave.
