There is not a trace, hint or whiff of Old Slavonic Glagolitic here, either. 
 
 
 Having seen the most recent pics, I thought that Soares was the obvious answer.  Fernando beat me to it :-)))) 
 
Pure Western Europe.

Salaams ariel, Are you referring to the sword at $1? since the SOARES inscription is not the project I am trying to translate?? Observe the Norwegian for the word Svare...which means answer respond or reply... seems like a reasonable solution except its got an 
S on the end but these inscriptions are rarely accurate...
However, please do look at the letters on #1 and tell me what language in western Europe uses the form that is similar to 
A 51UU A  
Where the two A looking characters are quite different to European 
A style having a vee or tee shaped crossbar and which is almost identical to OCS.  
Where the letter Zayin (similar to a 5 with no top) is a Hebrew Cursive letter... 
Where the two letter U forms are also Hebrew. They appear as almost 
IJ close together... 
Finally if you have a better idea or your associate can help by all means lets hear it from that quarter ... 
Which European language/western language might this be from?  I would be delighted to hear it.
Regards,
Ibrahiim al Balooshi.
