Hi there!

I´d like to share pics of my new sword – German Pallasch M1854, which I forged in cooperation with German Reenactment group. First I made wooden model for casting. Final cast is brass.
Grip is made from black ray-skin. Overall length: 106 cm, weight: 1.1 kg.
Pics of original, model & my final piece:

Thanks for your comments,

Nice! Good weight for such a long sword. What is the thickness at the base?

Thickness is 7 mm, width of the blade is 30 mm.
Cheers, Michal

That's precisely the kind of thing that springs to my mind when I think about the words "dueling sword".

Slender, graceful, and elegant. I like it!
