Now the grip is also 'epoxyed' to the tang. And the whole thing has cost 10-12 times less than a example in fine condition

Thank you Bruno; Obrigado Wayne
 .I have been trying in vain to contact Brazilian resources connected to their Navy, in order to decode that inscription; but it seems they are not that amenable. I would give my kingdom to know what those initials (?) mean. If this were a later piece, EG could well mean Escola de Guerra, as they now call their Navy schools. But i can't get a trace to their Empire period Navy institutions. |
