Honestas fides et gladius.
Some comments:
The nominative case is gladiuS. GladiuM is accusative case.
The Latin word 'honor (or honos)' had a much narrower meaning that the English word 'honor.' In Latin, that meant an honor received - a reward, a promotion, a medal and not the quality of a person - virtue, nobility, honesty, etc. For that, Latin used 'honestas.' When English borrowed the words, the meaning of honor expanded to include both honor received and honor as a quality while the meaning of honesty contracted to just a single part of something constituting honor.
DR.R.Luxemburg
It,s HONOR, FIDELITAS ET GLADIUM
Hope this helps
