Do tell! Are the inscriptions legible? I am very curious and would love to see photos...

Peter Johnsson has shared some additional thoughts about this interesting sword and possible "cousins" in a recent thread of mine that may be of interest to forum members here also.

A sword in the Wallace Collection has a somewhat similar very thin, flat pommel... there's a recent paper that reveals it had a very delicate silver inscription, but sadly it's all but obliterated.
