Hi Teodor,
Actually I lean towards the wolf and orb being legit in this case. A friend and fellow forum member has a blade to the same pattern and the same marks, also showing great age.

On his you can see the orb much clearer.
I could be wrong, but these seem to be well enough made and found in a context that makes sense.
Cheers,
Iain
