see the examples of Baranov sword type Galovo.
in following link http://truehistoryshop.com/byzantine-militarist-swords/ The sleeve of the sword of post 1 indeed seems reversed because the whiskers are not pointing towards the point. Then the question of dating remains. were there In the 11th century single-edged blades with such a pronounced fuller ?, or has this type Galovo been common for centuries? best, |

Thanks for the clear picture Evgeny of the blade. These cuff hilts can appear with a curved blade. There's actually a couple hiding in the link you posted although with slightly different designs but the family resemblence is clear. In an image from the collection of a private Bulgarian citizen. I'm attaching the original image here for reference, 4th sword from the right and second from the left. |
