Medieval Sword for opinion

templarnight · 11th August 2012, 07:12 PM

I have just recieved this Sword for appraisal from Italy.
I consider myself fairly confident in 'autheticating' Swords, but would welcome any ideas.
The Blade is 83cm long ith max width of 4.4cm. Broad Fuller on both sides.

Theres a stamp on both sides, along with a circular 'Islamic' mark. Possibly from an Arsenal?

The Crosspiece and Pommel all look good to me.

Overall length is 99cm.

I don't know how anyone could authenticate this piece from a few internet pictures in a field that is so riddled with forgeries .

So sorry but, appraisal discussions don't fit in here.
You will have to make it a private issue.
