X-raying of weapons

[Gavin Nugent]

After the posting of Artzi's Crusader sword;

I have a few questions about thw whole x-ray process in relation to edged weapons.

A/ Who would be able to carry out such a task? Or in Artzi's instance, who completed these x-rays.

B/ Given the condition of a sword or the like, is the x-ray capable of revealing a stamp or a signiture that is below timber hilt slabs. I ask as I have a few unique pairs of weapons of exception quality that have the remote possibility of being signed.

C/ Would the x-ray process then give me a radio active sword with which I could rule the universe ...jokes, just jokes
