A double handed sword
Hello dear members,
I wanted to ask your opinion about this huge sword, I think it is a reproduction of an antique 15th-16th model of two handed sword and I bought it with this description and correct price but , your precious help is needed: It was sold as a 18th-19th century reproduction But : the global shape of the blade is too perfect, So maybe it is just a 20th repro model ? On another angle: the blade seems not recent and really well made. ( just a mark/stamp is missing....) The pommel seems old ( maybe Saxon origin as Merenti illustrated in his post about saxon arms ) the guard and leather, I don't know, I found look like model said to be late 19th century reproduction and other good ones..... I'm not specialist at all in this area and every comment is welcomed. Kind regards |
