Hi Jean-Luc
Great sword, mon ami... with a great problem in deciphering the inscription. I guess that the words being in Latin is less of a problem than discerning the actual letters 'inserted' into the grooves ... at least doing the job from pictures. Maybe having the sword in your hands things are not so complicated. So if you 'burn your eyelashes' for a few hours and manage to read the letters, members versed in Latin will easy translate the wording. Easy to say, isn't it ?

Hi Jean Luc,
That is one of the most amazing blades I have ever seen in its kind , the structure of the metal the craftsmanship which forged it typical 16th C,. The craftsmanship of the engravings ... Mind boggling There is no doubt that this is an Original blade, a trained eye can see this immediately. The blade is 16th C , circa 1550 a fine example of a high quality fighting blade. Congratulations Ulfberth |

Thank you very much for your kind comments. This a fighting sword far more scarce than the frequently encountered processional swords of the late 16th and early 17th.The analysis of this sword highlights serious beatings on the blade , it is symptomatic of numerous fights during its livetime. Best Jean-Luc |

I tried, but could not find any sentence. If i where you i would try and use some sort of clay and press it in the lettering and get a print. Or use a piece of paper, place it on the symbols and softly go over it with a pencil to get a print.
This is what i read... in te eomine sie hichi es i gucoio it hoc il iusto uowe chx sian ponito amia in te ic ominesie mepius omen ponon il iusto uowe hic sian ponito amia |
