Suddenly I got some new infos about the sabre.


"...A fuller runs most of the length of the blade, tapering in width along the blade's length. Where the spine changes to the false edge the fuller is interrupted, rising up and actually becoming thicker than the blade before resuming its run toward the point. While I'm not exactly sure of the purpose of this feature, it is present on the original and is visually interesting...."

The fuller of the original seems not as deep as on this sabre. It is covered with a goldened cupper strip on both sides.The fuller is not interrupted. Only the cupper strip is rising up from the blade's surface. It seems the blade had been bent for some reason, and the corrector couldn't flat the strip into the original lay.

A very interesting explanation for this could give the "Hojnovskij" sabre form Kiev. It was found bent in a stone sarcophagus.
I got somewhere a photo from the golden cupper stripe.

Henrik,
Thanks for the feedback. My trouble when putting this together was that the only sources I had were ones that possessed very short catalogue-like entries that didn't go into enough detail. I'd be happy to make some changes to the review, especially if I could peek at some of the source material you have.

Please message me with any info you might have. Thanks!

Hell yeah! After 8 more hours, the site has more security fixes, bug fixes, and other under-the-hood stuff. To all those anonymous jerks in random countries who keep attacking this site each night, I say, bring it on.

I won't be updating the change log with these changes, as they're very much background stuff and will just bore this community, but for me, it will save me a whole hell of a lot of trouble.

In other words lots of attempts to post " SPAM " and phoney " Bots " registering as people trying to sell viagra or Russian brides and God know what other internet garbage. :evil:

I don't really know much about this kind of tech stuff but I can imagine how much Nathan must despise spammers.

Another reason to thank Nathan for all the work he has to put into this site just to keep it functioning.

I've added another page to my collection gallery:

Enjoy. It's one of my favorites.

There's a bug with quoting text in private messages. I won't have free time for awhile, though, but I'm aware of the issue and need to find the time to track it down.

I apologize for any inconveniences it may cause.

Cheers.

Nathan,
I lurk on myArmoury nearly every day I am not on the road. The posts collections and articles are very informative and entertaining. I really do appreciate the work you put into the site. Thank you.

Thanks, Daniel... I appreciate that.
