some weeks ago I was started project with Tekov museum Levice(Tekovské múzeum Levice)http://www.muzeumlevice.sk/
about reconstruction of three medieval swords from their collections.I have time to next year end,so I want to share with this interesting project.
Now I have in progress first sword-Petersen type X sword from grave find from Malé Kozmálovce dated about 900AD(inv.no.323/93).
Overall length - 92cm
Blade length-78cm
Max.blade width-4,5cm,but blade is badly corroded and hole in crossguard indicatet,that blade was wider,about 5,5cm
Crossguard-91X12X20mm
Pommel-58X32X24mm
On blade is small cross,which was probably formerly inlayed in bronze or brass,and some weld defects.Blade probably has a iron or steel core and welded-on steel edges.
