One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet about meed phra is the engraving on the scabbards. I have one which has very faint traced designs and writing, probably done with a pin or needle. A similar design is visible near the throat of the scabbard of Stuart's mini-meed. I assume that these are created by the monk during the blessing ceremony. I'd post photos, but they are almost impossible to see.
