I have a brilliant research paper for Forum to look at Please see http://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get...FULLTEXT01.pdf where a small number of swords and inscriptions are compared. It is interesting that the letter IJ occurs in the alphabet illustrated...as IS

The Citation for the original published paper (version of record):
Wagner, T., Worley, J., Holst Blennow, A., Beckholmen, G. (2009)
Medieval Christian invocation inscriptions on sword blades.
Waffen- und Kostümkunde, 51(1): 11-52
