Two hands sword
This is my last adquisition, a beautiful and large sword, near 70 in. with a wavy blade with a lot of rust near the point.

The best tale-tellers are the guard finials and pommel: 1. aside being nice to the eye, they simply will not stand the rigors of war and brake.
2. this pommel type is just wrong to that kind of sword. There are some other variants to take in consideration but the photos are a little fuzzy - I'm talking about the grip, proportions, sub-guard. |
