I personally like this one compared to the multiple variations of cheap renditions I have seen:

"Fides, Honos, Prudentia, Sapiencia" (Faith, Honor, Prudence, Wisdom)
"Fiat justitia ruat caelum" (Let justice be done)

I'd ask him to measure what the POB is...I suspect it might be one of the earlier ones that came with a hollow pommel.  Horrible handling, even if you have strong wrists.  He sure wants a lot of money for it, and it isn't even the 'damascus' version.
