I planned to make this replica since a few years, and I make it in the end of last year.
Let me know what do you think about it :)

Perfection!
I was just in Bayerisches Nationalmuseum in Munich a short while ago, cursed a bit the thick glass, lighting conditions and arrangement at the sword display, but had a good look at the original. It is magnificent sword, and this recreation truly does it justice.

Nice.
I was discussing this style of sword in another topic ( http://myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=331...mp;start=0 ) when it's represented as cavalrymen's sidearm.
I mean, I thought it was intended foot combat, for armoured nobles to stab through spots unprotected by plate. Cavalry use seemed to look unfit: the blade would bend with the amount of energy involved, and they look too much refined to be wasted in that way.
When I discussed it with Carlos Cordeiro, when I visited his workshop past month, says it would do fine for that, probably couched like a spear. And thinking on it's grip length, I think it would do fine being couched.
What's your feelings regarding it's stiffness?

If we take into account the decorations and the condition in which it has been preserved to this day, we could say that the Munich sword was a civilian sword, an indicator of the status of its owner. At the same time, this sword is very stiff and could certainly be used in combat. Due to the quite thick and narrow blade, in my opinion it is better at thrusting than at cutting
