Trying to figure out what language is inscribed on a sword

Post by Paul90723 »

Hello and thank you for reading my post.

I found a sword that appears to made from brass or bronze with an inscription on it and no one I have talked to seems to know what language it is.

Any help that you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

It's chinese zhuan shu style caracters upside down. Some aspect of it are quite clear, other parts or totally mysterious. One recognises features and 以父王 in the middle of the last picture.
