I came across this falcata on the Del Tin site. It is not their typical falcata that is offered from various retailers. It appears to be more of a "horse-head" type. I'm not sure if it is new, or perhaps it has been on their site for awhile and i've never seen it before? I've tried googling for some more info but havn't found much. I sent Del Tin a query, but I figured i'd share it with you guys till I get some info, or maybe someone else might know. Heck, maybe someone here might even be interested in it.

Hmmm, very interesting! It looks like Fulvio may have changed the hilt assembly to a more accurate "full tang" or "grip tang" construction. Please let us know if/when you find out more info!

ps. The Claymore (claidheamh da laimh) has a wheel pommel. Is this a new model...?

Where did you find that page? I can't locate it at the Del Tin website.

Prodotti in Offerta -pezzi di pronta consegna translates more or less as - products on sale - pieces ready for delivery.

I think these may be things kicking around the shop that Fulvio wants to clear out - discontinued models, prototypes, one-off experiments, variations or older versions of existing stuff, etc. There are some things there that I've never seen before, like the D-guard knives.

sciabola da champagne. I think those last three were made for sabrage... ie opening champagne bottles

I think it's the model 2072 just with a scabbard. It's one of their swords that you really don't see very often. Which is really too bad because it's a beautiful blade.

I much prefer that falcata to the original one with the brass hilt.
The grip looks much nicer although a little crude, for me it better represents what I often see in museums. Though those swords are without the wood.

I am however a bit hesistant to buy as the reviews of the brass hilted sword are not great and it looks... like this shares the same blade?

Ah, I forgot about museumreplicas and deltin being seperate companies! The two brass hilted swords look so simliar I often take them for being the same blade.

I thought deltin swords were generally thicker and less balanced for use as a sharp than other swords. Something to do with them all being made as blunts due to Italian law.

The Del Tin "brass-hilt" falcata is a good sword, although historically inaccurate.... all similar swords (Such as those by Windlass and Deepeeka) are based on the Del Tin. I own one, purchased from MRL about 20 years ago, or so.....

That being said, this falcata looks to be an improvement (in terms of accuracy) over the old one... I wish Fulvio would add it to his regular line-up, and replace the inaccurate "brass hilt"....
