Great write up!
Howard Backmore writes about cabbalistic writings that possess some "mystical quality to spur him on to greater deeds or bring him luck". I find the blade markings quite interesting.
Here is an example from an early 18th century Hirschfänger.

Yes,there are wonderful decorations on huntingsword blades.Often game,like stags,wildboars,bears but also hares.On some you find little poems spending luck.Also floral decor is loved.

The images of these 'hunting enclosures' are fascinating; I had no idea they were used.
