I am new to this wonderful forum. I collect ethnographic edged weapons, but am also greatly interested in the study of Ancient and Mediaeval arms.
I have come accross some illustrations from a 13th century French court manuscript, known as Les Coutumes de Toulouse. They depict a weapon that resembles very closely a Dacian falx. That such a weapon would ahve reached France is intriguing but unlikely, and it might instead be a unique chopper weapon in the same vein as the blades in the Maciejowski Bible: http://www.myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=927
Would anyone have any information or comments regarding this strange weapon?
Best regards,
Emanuel
