Back to the sword at hand. What characteristics makes one sword a Walloon?
Is this sword a Walloon?

Hi Manuel,
Your real walloon is one of my favourites too!
As for whether these bronze hilted double edged swords are strictly 'part of the family' I always thought they were the end of the evolution.
I know they are often just called 'cavalry swords' but until they go to the single edged blade I always thought of them as part of the walloon line....
Looks like I might be wrong on that!
