A GERMAN FIGHTING TWO HAND SWORD LATE 16 TH CENTURY

yes i can tell if sword parts are treated with acid, actually anybody with reasonable eyesight can do this.

however this acid discussion is not so important in this case.

more important is that a beautiful homogeneous original sword is almost classified as a composite one with later hilt parts, this is done without a proper and solid substantiation.

we have differences of opinion here, but that's fine.

best,
Jasper
