Very nice Jan!
Out of curiousity, are Type T2 pommels typically found on XVa swords?
Beauty! :)
I love the proportions, and the pommel construction looks very interesting.

I like the design of the chape.

Can we get a close up shot of the pommel? The more I see of your work the more I like it.
Another nice piece.
Well done.

Jan,
Your work is stunning. I'm consistently impressed by the photos you post!

Craig,
As far as I know, this kind of pommels were used in XV type swords (and other types too) (see atachments) But it is hard to find XVa type sword with Type T2 pommel. I find only one example on iconography that could be XVa sword - brass effigy picture.
Nevertheless, in my opinion "fish tail" pommel fit to this kind of blade too;)

Is there any photo showing the full sword without the scabbard on? :D
Just to add a little more, a set of knives Jan made for my girlfriend:

Unfortunately my memory card in digital camera was almost full during taking this pictures, and record other pictures on photo's showing full sword, edge and point... so I don't have any pictures. Sorry. I can arrange pictures if you need it, but it's the same blade like few others XVa.
That combination of pommel and guard is just outstanding. Sometimes a certain look just speaks louder than others and this one really grabs my attention. God I love this place. It's like a virtual museum tour that never ends
Just echoing the sentiments of others....that's is indeed a grand looking sword....
Auf Wiedersehen,

Dobry den, bardzowne mecze panuov v polsce, slawianska slawa stawu meczarskego.
Sorting single parts of the swords is important but probability occurence in in following centuries isnīt smoll.
