European sword? eyelash stamp, victorian copy ????

unfortunatly it is not Victorian but a recent reproduction or copy made by an Italian blacksmith, probably made around 2020.
I still saved a photo from Facebook

Interesting, Corneli, but no marking on THAT blade. Maybe someone has a proper reference link to help prove your date comment?


I agree with Jim.

I agree with Jim.

We’d need to see both sides of Phil’s sword before we can discount it being the same one in Cornelistromp’s photo.

On the face of it there are differences in the guard that indicate that it’s not the same sword, however if its a recent production there’s nothing to say this isn’t one of a series.

I'm thinking this is same Smith, not upset as bought it under assumption it was a good copy.
