Most probably there is nothing new in what i am saying but, the term SOLIDEO may have a rather intentional meaning, when inscribed in a sword. As you know, the solideo is a cap used by bishops and such name originates in the latin "soli Deo tollitur", which means "only before god you take it off". I just thought its inscription in a blade will have the same purpose; something like "only in the name of God you will unsheath it"  .

Hi Ibrahim,
Thanks for the thoughts on SOLIDEO GLORIA. It also means SOLI = only DEO = God GLORIA = glory; so "to God alone belongs the glory", or "Glory only to God" or something similar. A sentiment that fits well with the Puritan theology of many of the Commonwealth forces during the ECW! --ElJay |

I assume your reasoning is indeed better mine, specially the second expression. ... this assuming that you are addressing fernando, not Ibrahiim  .
