Dear Friends,

    My friend Jose Torres near Cleveland Ohio has purchased a Hungarian Hussar saber with the above Latin inscriptions on each side of the blade. 

    Would any of you Latin scholars be willing to translate it into English in the same spirit as the inscription, not necessarily word for word. 

    I would be happy to forward a copy of his original email to me with pictures of the sword to anyone interested in seeing it.

Best Regards,  John
