I've never found myself being attracted to movie swords, even if the said movie is based on history and not fantasy (ex: Mel's sword in Braveheart, or the "Sword of Maximus" from Gladiator) but I'm starting to fall in love with that Sword of Ibelin, the one Orlando carries.

Question: Can anyone make out what appears to be an inscription on its pommel that encircles the red cross?

MXCIX - 1099 That is the final year of the First Crusade, when the Christians took Jerusalem.
