Superb, Jean-Luc.
I must come around your house to check on the possibilities to break in and relief you from a couple pieces ... namely this one  .

Well, you can never be sure that those failures are result of real action, Jean-Luc
 .Who is to know what is the % of probabilities that blade dents are result of combat versus inumerous other incidents ... mostly children and even grown ups playing with them just for fun ... or silliness  .

Of course It would be a possibility. However we know that most of these medieval swords were found more or less recently in rivers beds and went immediately in museum or collector hands .Also Since the dawn of time Men’s are always been fascinated by swords so I guess that such object were kept with the greatest care |

Well, if the dents have the same patina as the whole blade, that would be a good symptom

This is a great sword of high quality. One can recognize notches from sword fighting by the shape of them. If the notch is shaped almost like a half drop, it is almost 100% caused by heavy contact from one cutting edge to another. Roland |

Salaams All, The sword looks real...but I am not sure about the so called sword on sword strike marks... Can anyone show another similar sword with sword on sword strikes? This weapon came from a deep pool... In the old days great swords were thrown in deep pools ...we know that... so assuming we are looking at about 1000 year old strike marks is this what they look like...? Frankly I would hesitate before plunging into those waters...
 Regards, Ibrahiim al Balooshi. |
