Posted: 4/29/2007 10:31:23 PM | Just found a fairly old Crusader style sword
Solid Silver Fittings on Hilt
Double stitched/lined Leather Sheath
has engraved on the blade
"Plus Vident Aruli Quam Arulus" on one side
Other side "Suaviter in Modo Fortiter Inre"
Last line possibly translates as "Gentle in manner strongly in god we trust"
Other side has got me stuffed
any help would be gratefully accepted
Thanks

More they see Aruli (surname) than Arulus (surname).
