Thank you for the note Detlef. Actually this is a very esoteric area, and as can be seen in most mention as well as in most references, these kinds of markings and inscriptions are seldom discussed, or even noted. These subjects have intrigued me for more years than I can say, and while I have studied such topics deeply, I cannot claim any profound knowledge either. I just know what I have discovered generally.

There are many cases of inscriptions on blades which appear to be just jibberish, such as groups of letters on blades of Caino in 17th-18th c. which appear to be acrostics or some sort of coded sequences.

Your knowledge on ethnographic weapons is impeccable....rock on!
