Sword with blade decorations from an other period?

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.

Hi TRond,

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 have a friend who is researching a special type of tessaks but is not registered here. Would you please help me to put him in touch with your friend collector?

Cheers.
