- What does the marking mean? (4 curves with T shape on both sides)
- Age?
- Blade metal?
- I know the handle in buffalo horn

Thanks

Salaams mrasingh ~ see http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ht=blade+marks #153 and 154 refers. Often framed with 3 dots and in this case a T or a cross perhaps... Like many blade marks inscribed later to copy or mirror the original mark as has been done with Passau Wolf, moon marks and in this case "sickle marks" sometimes called hogsback or eyelash marks..
