Are you one of those Serbian Nationalists so knotted up with hate that you can't resist the urge to sign up to a sword forum to make your first post a denial of someone else's history or identity?

How about you contribute something other than hate?

I don't know much about Croatian cyrrillic but a quick search landed me on this interesting website that might help others in examining the topic further:

Croatian Cyrillic Script

You bet! Interesting to look back to discussions in 2012 (Oct.) when 'Aurelius' (FROM Croatia) joined us and noted that Croatian cyrillic was termed 'bosancica' and comparable lettering shown on a sword was to GRGUR MAJSTER (=Gregory artisan) . This type 'Croatian cyrillic' was used up to end of the 18th c. and shown in Oakeshott ("European Weapons and Armor" p.189, fig.87).

Indeed. Otherwise we wouldn’t have figured it out by ourselves. The power of the internet is amazing! Sharing information selflessly in the pursuit of knowledge.

Seems like you are the prosecutor and the executor in this matter without any proof. If I were a politician and not a collector I would not stop. But accusing me of hatred toward others and accusing me to be a nationalist without knowing me is not ok.
