here is the peice of metal on the scabbard after i cleaned it.
it is very similar to many Berber symbols, some for protection against the evil eye.
the symbol on the blade, the squiggly line, doesn't seem much like a decoration being a simple squiggly line in the center of actual floral decorations.
i have also found the squiggly line in Berber as a symbol for metal workers, and a symbol for the snake, a masculine symbol.
when i wield the sword, i really get the impression they were put there for a imbuement purpose.
