Here is an example of the "split sword" of the Prophet used as a talisman on a sword. Below is a Moro barong that is sultan class with gold, silver, and ivory. It comes from the book "The Gods of War" and once belonged to Stone (and is in his book as well). The talisman is silver inlay on the blade with other "arabic" talismanic writing as well: (one of the pics sent to Lee for resizing).
