Very nice!
Hope I am not going to be lectured that it was destined for a mass dance party :-) |

 I hope your sitting down....  Nice fighting sword by the way Kubur. It is the business, a capable and fast fighting sword. A fuller however as we all knows lessens weight but adds more surface area to create a stronger blade, something hardly needed to bust a move with your mates... The position of this fuller add rigidness to this section to keep the sword strong in your hands yet pliable at the business end, as a good sword should be. I'd love to post a link to the thread where all the unanswered hard questions are asked about wild dancing claims, but I'll refrain for I am sure everyone has read the passages by now...PM me if you wish to view the passages. EDIT, I didn't see you jump in there Spiral... Gavin Last edited by SwordsAntiqueWeapons; 13th October 2014 at 11:07 AM. |

Thank you all for your compliments and comments.
I know that the 'dancing' fighting swords are a 'delicate' subject. The blade looks really strong and good for fights. By the way, you can dance even with a fighting sword. If you look the old photographs (end of 19th c.), women dance with Ottoman kilij on the head. Nowadays belly dancers continue this tradition. I'm more interested in the stamps and a date for the blade... Regards, Kubur |
