AJ1356: Yes, the stones are real. A friend of my wife who is involved in lapidary work confirmed that. The back of the scabbard looks to be the normal embossing kind of work, to my eye anyway. As far as the inscriptions go though, if it makes no sense to you then we will have to leave it at that, although I have read that many of the people that did these inscriptions were themselves illiterate.........Dave.
