What is this writing?

#1

Post by ♠Enigma♠ » Sat Jul 14, 2012 2:57 am

Some time ago, I was in possession of this (short?)sword that my dad found buried at his work (he landscapes in a nearby town.) I'm not exactly sure what the symbols on this mean. Are they runes? Chinese symbols? Random designs?

It's not really important that I find out what these symbols mean, but it would be cool to know. (if it's any help, they were found here in California)

Wow, yeah it's a replica. Probably ordered out of a magazine or something.

Good catch, Kal.
