Unfortunately this forum seems to have a "gang up" approach if one member out of the blue suggest "copy" based on nothing. Yes its harsh words but fact.

You have some very knowable members here but also "Trolls" that is not being moderated. My apology for speaking factual truth. But the truth matter.

Your sword is worth more research and you can have a test taken of the metal and have it dated.
Tordenskiold, you are probably reflecting what goes on in other venues, when you brought here such bizarre perspective. That hat surely doesn't fit in this forum's head. Perhaps what you want is assure us that you don't include yourself in that "gang up" club .
