I don't know if this will affect your considerations of this sword but there is a grammatical mistake in the Latin inscription - possibly just a slip by the engraver. It should read: PRO HONORE ET PATRIA. But looks a nice blade otherwise.

Hello,
I'm not a specialist at all in Latin language, I found this old army flag of Romania 1860 with Honor & Patria motto, that's why I thought perhaps a romanian blade model on an ottoman hilt and scabbard ... Kind Regards |

The flag is fine and the Latin correct. The difference with the blade inscription is the word PRO which requires the ablative case of the word HONOR (sorry to be technical); PATRIA is OK being identical in nominative and ablative cases. But the motto is basically the same so could suggest a Romanian origin.
Regards, Neil |

Hello,
I'm still waiting the custom-authority export authorisation...they told me to wait another week...  Waiting for the shipping, I was looking for this particular sword shape: oriental hilt with ''snakes'' guard and straight blade on the net. I found two wonderful swords with the ''same'' shape in two of the nine swords of the Prophet Muhammad ( now in the Topkapi Museum Istambul ) : Al-Mathur and Al-Rasub, Do this model of particular hilt and straight blade still been made in 19th-20th century in Arabia ? ( sorry for my bad english ) |
