A double handed sword

Last one for the tip/blade structure.
Kind regards

OK, I'll go along with the pommel, though that shape is unusual on 2-handers, and the pommel is the element most often replaced when a sword is being restored. As for the sharpness - a good repro has to be sharp otherwise it's not a good repro! I still feel that this is a repro, but a good one, and if I'm wrong then you have an even better bargain.

Hello,
I have a question about "replacement" pommels:
I found other with the same shape ( one discussed on an old post ) on old two handed swords.
are they typical of another period that confirm these are later pieces ?
19th century ??

I'd like to share with you the lines that appeared when I clean it another time and use this time grain 800 then 1000 again.
It is not that deep in the blade but deep enough for being revealed after a second lights sanding.
Strange lamination (?) lines or remains of drawings ?
More presents on one side but de can see them a little on both ( cf pics )
in any case it don't look like a modern damas...

Don't know if it makes it an earlier or later model...

Kind regards

An ''uraltes'' blade for break the silence !...

I hope this one will help.
same ''lines'' and blade shape ( hexagonal section ) on an old italian model of two handed sword
( this one with a stamp )/mark ...)

The marking appears to be the 'winged lion of St. Mark' as occurs on numbers of weapons from Venice and associated with the armouries of the Doge of Venice of earlier centuries.

Without weighing in one way or the other, I offer some images of examples out of the workshop of Ernst Schmidt of Munich.
The prices listed are in 1920s Deutsch marks.
