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???

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?
