ONE POSSIBLE GOOD SOURCE OF INFORMATION OFTEN OVERLOOKED BY A FORIGN PERSON DOING RESEARCH BY ASKING QUESTIONS, WOULD BE ANY OLD WRITINGS OR RECORDS. THE FORGE MAY HAVE KEPT SOME RECORDS AND DESCRIPTIONS AND IF THE CORRESPONDING RECORDS OF THE SALE SAY TO A CURRENT RULER COULD BE FOUND PERHAPS AN EXAMPLE FROM THE ARSNEL COULD BE FOUND AND LINKLED TO THE NAME USED WHEN PLACEING OR FILLING THE ORDER IN A SPECIFIC TIME PERIOD.
IT WILL TAKE A LOT OF WORK AND THE RECORDS MAY NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE OR DESTROYED BUT THEY WOULD HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF EXISTING THAN THE PEOPLE FROM OVER 100 YEARS AGO. ONE WHO READS AND SPEAKS THE NATIVE LANGUAGE WOULD HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF HUNTING DOWN AND READING SUCH RECORDS.
AS JIM POINTED OUT THE WARRIOR USING THE SWORD MIGHT HAVE A DIFFERENT NAME FOR IT THAN THE ONE WHO MADE IT. I HAVE A SWORD BY MY BED NAMED RALPH FOR INSTANCE.
