It might be a gross messer. It means big knife. They seem to have been similar to the falchion but two handed.

Thanks for posting those pictures. I have always been fascinated by this helmet which seems to be a hybrid of two types, the 'chichak' and the 'turban helmet'. I have never seen a colour picture of this particular helm before. Manouchehr, is it possible for you to post a link to a bigger picture of it please? I'm afraid 'll have to wait a while longer before I get to see it in person. When I suggested a weekend city break to Mrs Gaballa, she vetoed Paris and opted to book a holiday in Amsterdam instead. :( Any good Arms and Armour Museums in Amsterdam? :D |

Thank you, Manouchehr, for posting more wonderful pictures!
I especially noticed this bronze age sword with its beautiful scabbard: [ Linked Image ] And I also take note of the two-handed sword in this picture: [ Linked Image ] The relatively small size and the shape of the parrying hooks reminds me of a discussion thread, some months ago, about historic precedent for parrying hooks like these. |

This one is of the same type as the Wallace Collection's A477, on which the Windlass Steelcrafts "German Bastard Sword" is modeled. Same distinctive dimensions, hilt details. Note the blued hilt, pear-shaped finials and ringed or spiral collars below finials. These all must have been from the same German workshop. It's great to finally see a full-length view. I'm happy to see the scabbard, but I sure would like to see the blade. I'm hoping to see the A477 in a few weeks.... |
