Irish or Welsh swords

Iliad · 16th April 2011, 01:09 AM

Hi all,
I have been puzzled for some time about the lack of references to Irish or Welsh swords. There are frequent references to Scottish swords, English swords, Indian Swords, Arabian swords, Turkish swords, Chinese swords, French swords, etc.
Are there specifically Irish or Welsh swords, so that a collector could visit an exhibition or Antique shop and say " Aha, this is an Irish/Welsh sword from about 1780-1810, probably from xyz regiment which fought in outer Mongolia."
Best regards to all,
Brian
