How about this for a new topic? People and swords. And portraits of them. I am thinking kings, soldiers, the occasional band of mercenaries... you name it. Via camera or paintbrush. Either way is cool. Self portraits are highly recommended!
I will start...
This portrait is taken from sabels.net. I translated the information that came with it.
It is an old group photo from ca. 1923 of the dutch marechaussee. Taken in Nieuwstadpoort in Zutphen. No less than four different types of sabre can be seen carried by the men: a cavalry sabre M1895 on the bottom left, a cavalry sabre M1876 next to that, a marechaussee klewang next to that and the middle man on the bottom row has a walking(?)sabre KL 1912.
