yes, michal, you dont fail to impress!
absolutely wonderful, especially the second sword.
i spent the day in a friends library, which is pretty much complete in all aspects of arms (where mine tends to concentrate on a very small section).
i found some interesting things, including a full article written on these sword blades by a respected academic, and hints of another which i ran out of time before i located it.
cant tell more as i was on something else at the time, but will have the articles sent to me soon. sorry, in my rush i didnt even take details as i knew i would have them at my leisure soon.
again, thank you michal for sharing your access to such fabulous pieces.
