in 1250 the sword type was probably more common, the image of BIG swords with similar pommels can be seen in 13thC manuscripts.

That's a great illustration of this type of blade.
Good question about the form of the letter S... I cannot recall having seen such a form before, but would have to start inspecting photos to say for sure. I'll write you if I ever come across one... A form that is not uncommon is the S written as two separate opposing arcs, something like "CƆ", so in principle at least there is no problem with letters made of separate segments.
