Hi Manuel,
Agreed - I cannot compete with your actual experience in handling swords.
Besides my collection of earliest arsenal firearms and accouterments, I can only boast
on possessing three swords: two extremely rare early 16th century Italian Landsknecht sabers, one of whom I posted here in a thread on its own, and a very fine ca. 1600 Munich Stantler rapier in as new original condition, which I will post soon.
That's why, in discussing edged weapons, I generally rely on my experienced friend Ottmar.
Thank you and best,
Michael
