As previously noted in my earlier post, the inscription on the obverse (?) side of the blade is actually not 'nonsense' but though not readable as far as wording, the letters typically have singular occult meaning. This idea is based on the character of the 'letters' not having alphabetic value but possibly certain occult (=magic) qualification.

Perhaps someone out there might be aware of an alphabet which these characters might belong to, but as I cannot see a linear syntax (Im no linguist!) this assemblage of letters/characters appears to fall into the category of talismanic invocations noted.
