Pellegrini only gives a drawing of the letter forms and points out the inscription's similarity to [[index::SZ-17]]. No-one appears to have examined it since, there is no information on craftsmanship or the exact position of the writing on the object. The inscription resembles [[index::SZ-17]] not only in the sequence of letters, but also in the orientation of Sigma in writing direction (a reading {{w||isχs}} is generally excluded, probably on phonetic grounds). If Pellegrini's drawing is accurate, the shape of Chi is slightly different.
Length 2.3 cm; written on the blade about 3 cm from the rivet hole, facing the blunt edge. The first {{c||S}} is hardly visible; the inscription may have been in better condition when seen by Pellegrini, in whose drawing the letter appears without reservations. Sigma is taller than {{c|Χ|Χ3}} and also {{c||I}}. Apart from the shape of Khi, the inscription is identical to [[index::SZ-17]], including tall Sigma with the upper angle opening in writing direction. A manufacturer's mark?

Commentary

First published in Pellegrini 1951: 316 (no. 18). Autopsied by TIR in June 2015.

Image in Pellegrini 1951: 313 (no. 18) (drawing).

Length 2.3 cm; written on the blade about 3 cm from the rivet hole, facing the blunt edge. The first S s is hardly visible; the inscription may have been in better condition when seen by Pellegrini, in whose drawing the letter appears without reservations. Sigma is taller than Χ3 s and also I s. Apart from the shape of Khi, the inscription is identical to SZ-17, including tall Sigma with the upper angle opening in writing direction. A manufacturer's mark?

Further references: Vetter 1954: 72 f. (no. 18).
