the multi-part guard-bolster-languet and the very crisp square ricasso and the fuller going thru it are interesting*. attached is a current sword available very cheaply - who is copying who? it (the new one) does seem yo lack the stamped mark tho.
* - there is an old chinese curse: may you live in interesting times. seemed appropriate

I believe that the sword from post 1 is a recent copy. see some comparisons
PS:also note the scabbards of these swords on the drawing! best, Jasper Last edited by cornelistromp; 5th September 2016 at 08:42 AM. |

It can be the sword of the 19th century? (The Castle copy)

I fully agree with Neil, "Almost everything is wrong with this sword"
This is so obvious and I'm sorry to say the sword is not 19th C either. Its a modern partly machine made sword reproduction, aged with acid treatment and its easy to see. The metal is etched all over from applying the acid on the surface, on this modern mono steel this gives an even etching which can mistakenly look like old pitting. kind regards Ulfbert |
