Posted by: fernando Lead Moderator European Armoury Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Portugal Ah, ah . You missed wednesday=quarta-feira, by the way. The whole thing started in the year 563, when a church concilium was held in the Portuguese city of Braga. Bishop Martinho was the one that decided on naming the days in such way. Feira, first of all,comes from feria=resting (holiday). Contrary to one's perplexity that week days are for working and not for rest, the bishop's original idea was only to apply those names to the Holy Week, but later common people vulgarized the norm and attributed it to the whole year. Therefore the first day being Domingo, the next is segunda (second) feira, then terça (third) feira and so on. . Last edited by fernando; 20th October 2017 at 04:57 PM. |

Just look how the fuller runs trough right to the end , on this type of blade it should stop before the end, more or less two third of the blade length. The edges on the side of the fuller are sharpened. Also the length of the ricasso would be totally out of proportion. Here is a sword with a similar type of blade. kind regards Ulfberth (missing attachments) . Last edited by fernando; 21st October 2017 at 06:33 PM. |
