Help to identify a sword

[francantolin]

Ausjulius, have you 1-2 pictures of the 1880 Norman sword or similar exemple
for comparison and just for pleasure to see it,

Usually , 19th reproductions would look lîke original old models,
for make money or for revival this one is really different and as Tim Simmons
mentioned, the did a really good job just for a fantasy deco sword.


In the book "the history of chivalry and armor",
I found some interesting different types of medieval sword away from usual models
( like falchions...) ,
blades, are not so far away.
The sword was from John George I, Elector of Saxony

+ norman warriors drawings who match for hilt and pommel of the sword.
I think it was the principal influence for the bladesmith/ the owner- buyer
19th century or earlier ...
Almonzo,
The best thing is to show it in an history museum to an expert or curator ( ++ sure if they have medieval pieces and weapons )
In wich country do you live ?
