Regarding the sword of this thread, I feel it is similar to some other hangers and even before that with the French heart and half heart type straight hangers. IIRC there is an article pair from...

I would be careful with the langet attribution, as many past the 1820s were marked and cutlered on both sides of the channel. The Mowbray book still the gold standard for the early swords but there...

Mowbray dismisses these with backstraps as post war 1812 but my Woolley Deakin kind of puts that myth to rest. The floating pommel type sometimes regarded as a Dyer type. It has been so long since...

I would be remiss not to mention Gerald Bull, of the 20th century. I had first read of him in the 1960s when he suggested economical mortars using truck springs to hurl shells. ;) Later on. he was...

The thread I linked is the 2015 thread. As far as I know, there was no thread of Will's from 2002. Many of us have been around since then but Will introduced the sword last year (afaik).
