Very interesting! I have something that must be fairly closely related to your sword, but with a straight (secondary?) blade.

With so few people in Norway, it appears we now know who owns ALL the good swords!
 Beautiful examples both Trond. |

I have a fairly good DkN long-gun collection, but a modest sword collection compared to other specialized collectors. Here is a picture of some of the tessaks belonging to a friend who mainly collects swords.

do you mean with secondary that your Dussage started with a curved blade? I also had some dussages with a straight however single edged blade, with the same type of etching at the 'ricasso' showing on which side the cutting edge is. best, |

I still call them tessaks - no I'm aware that almost 16 % av the tessaks had straight blades and that the one on the previous tessak probably is a tessak blade, I'm just not sure that this is the blade that has followed the grip since new. The "wear & tear" seems too different.
My friend with the serious sword collection is not to friendly with computers. Trond |

I tried sending a PM, but got this answer: "celtan has exceeded their stored private messages quota and can not accept further messages until they clear some space."
