Picked this up at today at an antique shop. Can't figure out what's inscribed on the side. I pieced together something along the lines of "Behold, I have arrived. Your/His brother-in-law." but that was with google translate and was incredibly janky.

My thanks go out to the bilingual among you.

Fuck why did it upload upside down goddamnit.

Because you're a fag, OP
Telling us the language might help.
I probably don't speak it, but perhaps other anons do.

>>329458
I used Spanish in google translate. That's my best guess.

also yes I am an Irish cigarette.

>>329470
What item is it?
>>
>>329452
It's something like "Be happy bitches, your lord has arrived", but "bitches" and "lord" are not very exact. It uses not very common words. "Potranca" is a young female horse, and "garañón" is like a stud horse, but it's not literal.

A knife. Looked custom-made, and the sheath looked handmade. Also the handle's this weird concoction of colors, so I bought it.

>>329490
Hmm. That would be quite an odd thing to put on a knife. What do you mean by 'not very common'? As in their meaning is a bit off, or they're less-than-often-used words?
>>
>>329491
I mean that the words "potranca" and "garañón" are less-than-often-used words . Probably less than half of the native spanish speakers know the meaning of this words.
>>
>>329497
Is that because they're old words that have lost their use?
If so, it could be because theknife is old.
>>
>>329500
I think it's more because this words are very specific, maybe they are used more frequently in rural areas, where there are horses, cows and not much sofisticated technology.

The image shows an inscription on the blade of a Bowie knife. It reads:

Alergrense potrancas. Ya llego su "garañón";
but was probably intended to be read as:

' Alégrense potrancas. Ya llego su "garañón" '.

..... which translates to something like:

"Rejoice filly! Your "stallion" has arrived."

I think it metaphorically implies a stallion mounting and penetrating a filly, as a contemptuous allusion to the knife blade penetrating an adversary.
>>
>>329576
That would make a LOT more sense than the last translation. Though I wonder why a knife inscribed to stab someone with has such archaic wording. If the other anon was right about it being from a rural area it gets even weirder.

Thanks anyway mate.

>>329470
Try Portuguese.

>>329592
Might be Castilian Spanish.
