Thanks Ibrahim, happy to join the forum, and thanks Ed for an interesting comment. Here is a picture of the possible small engraving on the back of the blade - if it is one at all. Any clues?

Salaams Sander Whilst it could be a part of a blade mark my suggestion is that it is not...but it is always an interesting possibility. some odd looking strikes were simply a small cross, perhaps a shortened God is Great format but its always a great question... tap in blade marks on forum and cruise the library ...sorry tap on http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ht=blade+marks
