It is a beautiful acquisition, but as has already been said, too many talismans engraved concurrently is a suspicious sign.
BTW, could it have been brought from Sweden? I understand many of its older blades were brought over to Norway, to the former's current historical detriment.

I have not been able to track this sword down over the generations, but it seems that it is one of the "original" tessak imports.
