It's quite similar to this one, seen on a type II schiavona, though not identical.

It would be good to include full sword dynamics info a la Vincent Le Chevalier where possible. A bit laborious to compute and not always possible but provides a lot of interesting information.

Yeah, it would've been nice, but oh well. I hope someone else on these boards is currently enjoying it and taking good care of it!

A very cool and interesting sword. I like that it has a straight backsword blade. And a wide one, too. :cool:

I knew that the nimcha/saif hilt style had not changed much since the 17th century...

Yeah, this one is quite interesting. Re: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=247847&stc=1&d=1758001156

I see that there is a presentation of this book at Mandarin Mansion in Haarlem on the 27th. Is anyone going there? It would be nice to meet some fellow collectors in person.

Interestingly, in spite of the weight and mass distribution differences the POB for both swords is virtually identical at ~15cm from the bottom of the grip.

CoJang and rudus(?)

I was wondering about the distinction between the rudus and cojang.

I've had the less fancy of the two swords below for a while. I assume that that one is a cojang. 77 cm overall with a 62.5 cm...
