Hi All
Swords arrived
Here are some better images of my sword
Length of blade is 75 cm
Handle is a further 11 cm
Blade has no markings but some very nice fuller work and is in good enough condition
There is a bit missing from the handle so I can see inside
If it is narwhal or ivory or bone I do not known.
Has anyone got any opinion.It definitely does look like the sword Roland put up I put it closer to the American sword than the German one though?
The remnants we taught was part of scabard was just a strip of leather wound round the blade
I am handy enough at metal work so the silver work might be done.
I have exams coming up but it would be a nice project
The Spadroon is a lovely sword so I will take some pictures of that over the weekend
Regards
Ken
