[edit] First-level protected artifact

Please edit to further define, or link to a page that defines, first-level protection, or reword the sentence. It is difficult to understand what is meant by first-level, and how this would differ from second or third levels, if they exist. Is this in a museum context, or government security context?

Agreed, I just searched for "first-level protected artifact" on Google and top hit was this wikipedia article with no other top 10 hit making sense. 66.63.57.2 (talk) 19:13, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pattern

I'm curious does anyone know if the pattern is external or internal, i.e. is it a purely decrotive pattern etched to the finished weapon , or is it a result of plaiting together metal billets around a central core and Pattern welding them together?KTo288 21:11, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
