Default Heraldic blazon from a Medieval sword for ID

This is some pictures from a great war sword type XII with IHS pommel and one heraldic blazon inlaid in copper in the blade ( an heraldic blazon inlaid with 2 dots and one below)
May be one member had already seen in a book or in a collection a similar blazon and also a similar pommel.
In record of the medieval swords p164 there is a similar example of escutcheon but stamped in the blade.
I hope that I could learn more about this blazon.

hi Jean-Luc,

beautiful sword
in western christianity the meaning of IHS is Iesus Hominum Salvator ("Jesus, Savior of men" in Latin).
the first use of IHS in English Literature dates from the early 14thC .
herewith an example of a Pavese with IHS

best,
Jasper
