Fantastic sword Tim - was it inspired by an original? What techniques did he use to accomplish the hilt decoration/details?

Thanks for posting.

That’s really outstanding Tim

I’ve never seen a reproduction quite like it. What is the dating on this?
How does it handle?

The original sword was found in the Danube by Budapest and now it is in the Bp. History Museum in Buda Castle. The blank sword (no fittings or scabard etc) was found together with a petrified chainmail glove/hand still gripping the handle.

If it won't look older I would guess it fell in the river during the mongolian siege in 1241, because I don't know about any other military event there before that.

So YOU’RE the one this went to! I very much ogled the progress photos of this on Facebook. I’m going to ask for the obligatory stats and handling impressions please!

Stunning replica of a stunning original. I have a very poor photograph of the original but that's about it.

Beautiful work Tim. How about some measurements? How does it feel in hand?

Here's a pic of the original from the Museum.
The sword feels great. Robert is a master at his craft and it shows. I'll snap a full length shot of it later.
