Dear all; If I may return the focus of the thread initially to #1
where A 5 I IJ IJ A is shown on one swordface.

The A is with a short accent on top and the crosspiece is either vee or tee shaped. It occurs at both ends of the script.

The 5 is without its top like the Hebrew letter Zayin. It could stand for the Sword of Jesus...

The I may infact not be a straight I as it appears to have a tiny line in its centre. It could be an F or an I.

The IJ IJ may be Hebrew letters. ....It could be IS

The final letter is another A.

It is not known which way to read this line... The whole thing could be a reference to a holy script or it may only be known as a secret code to the owner. Inn addition it could be wrongly struck and some letters could be upside down... It makes for an interesting code break...Any takers??

Regards,
