Broad sword without apple, please help with attribution

and I want to show another crosshair, judging by the remnants of what is visible in the photo, it was probably clad in a notch, with floral ornaments, in the photo there may be remnants of the stigma at the base of the blade,

Your sword could very well be original. When keeping in mind that rust over centuries don't always look the same when taking metal surgical science into account. An item picked up from a river that has been encrusted in clay, or rusted in dirt were density, temperature and humidity has a lot to say on how old steel and iron corrodes and looks after 100 or over 1000 years.

Unfortunately this forum seems to have a "gang up" approach if one member out of the blue suggest "copy" based on nothing. Yes its harsh words but fact.

You have some very knowable members here but also "Trolls" that is not being moderated. My apology for speaking factual truth. But the truth matter.

Your sword is worth more research and you can have a test taken of the metal and have it dated.

Tordenskiold, you are probably reflecting what goes on in other venues, when you brought here such bizarre perspective. That hat surely doesn't fit in this forum's head. Perhaps what you want is assure us that you don't include yourself in that "gang up" club .
