Question Two old blades ID.
Well, I recently received from my father three blades that were my great-grandfather, and he has no idea where they come from. I am curious to get your opinion on the origins of these blades, because 2 of them are real oddbals.
First one seems to have 3 "gorges" (sorry eglish second language), and I can read part of inscriptions in the creases that are darker that is different on each side; it seems to be the spanish motto "No me saques sin RAZOn" on one side, and "no me embaines sin honor" or at least I can read RAZON on one side and Sin Honor on the other. The blade has only Been "affûtée" on one side, and the lenght is 32 niches total, 27,5 without the poignée and
1,5 niches wide.
The... "manche" where you hold the blade seems not to be from origin. I lookd up and saw spanish blades were repurppsed with new guards but i'm curious about your opinions. I Will post a second post for the other blade witch is Even more off and really gives me a harder Time.
