German-made 12th Century Blade in Siberia

Ok, ok ... I'll get a new graphic; by the way, the blade on the Tuareg sword is a nice and unequivocally old (17 - 18th century) European one.

The old board software let me have a different logo for each section, but the present software uses the same for each.

Please return now to discussion on the interesting sword found in Siberia.

Hi Lee and Nando (in alphabetical order),

Please do not get me wrong.
By critisizing our logo I never meant to harm anybody of the great team whom we both luckily and happily call The Forum's Founding Fathers.

All I wished to achieve was give an impulse to think about a possible further

step ahead.

With all my very best wishes to the two of you, and filled with gratitude for helping me along so far, especially over the past two years,
Michl/Michael

There are nice old takouba out there as well going back quite a few more centuries.

Back to the original subject... this is a wonderful example of the far reaching commerce of the time and nicely illustrates the value of these blades outside of Europe.

Lee, I had a chance to see this Viking sword at Timonium, 2013, it would be a good graphic, cant quite remember whos sword it was.

Here is the one being discussed rotated horizontally as well.

Actually, I was considering using that exact one as it is pretty unequivocally was once a Viking carried example...
