Hi Athena,
The corrosion on the blades has obscured most of the detail in these markings, any way you might employ your artwork talents  and draw the figures as near as possible and post them? Also, could we see the swords in full?These sound interesting and sure would like to get some discussion going, excellent topic! Best regards, Jim |

Thank you for drawing those figures out. Now the search begins , and this is pretty ...uh, very, esoteric. I'll start looking....meanwhile, where is Philip???!!All the best, Jim |

Hi Athena,
You might try doing a rubbing on the sections of the blade where it is hard to read the characters. It could possibly bring them up enough to read. Could you post a picture of the whole sword? Robert |
