Hi all,

If anyone has any images or any additional information about this sword that cannot be found on Albion's site, I would really apprecaite you sharing it/them.

Also, any information about similar swords or features (particularly the pommel) would be great.

Here's a pair of pictures I took of the original.

Thanks Kjell,
Is it just me or does the pommel appear to perhaps be hollow?
Thanks,
Dan

I don't recall noticing anything such at the museum, so I think it's massive, but I'm not entirely certain.

Thank you Kjell!

Has that sword suffered additional damage or has the cross just shifted out of place in that photo?

Michael, I believe that the cross has not only shifted, but is missing much of one arm.
Nathan, has Peter then confirmed that the pommel of the original and replica are not hollow?
(just wondering as nothing I've seen about the original or replica on the Albion website excludes them from being hollow....and there certainly were hollow pommels, though it being Iron would seem to lessen the chance)
Thanks,
Dan

Thanks Nathan, that helps a lot. I've seen a few other spheroid pommels and several of them were hollow in order not to overbalance the sword but they were bronze which is heavier than iron.
Thanks,
Dan

Michael,

There are a couple of photos in this thread: http://www.myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t...t=claymore of a claymore with a spherical pommel like the one seen on the Tritonia. It's hard to tell from the first photo, but if you look in the second, you can see the spherical shape.
