Manouchehr;
Very nice! A friend has a reproduction Katzbalger which has a pommel virtually identical to the one you've pictured in the lower photo. It's to the point that it looks as though the mold was taken directly from this example, even! His only has the "figure eight" style guard though, rather than the extra knucke-bow and branches. Still, a very nice sword. BTW, did you get any shots of the wheellock pistols which were displayed between the last two sets of swords? They look like VERY early examples, probably from the 1540's. Thanks again for posting these wonderful photo's! Cheers! Gordon |

The Italian 'Maximilian' halfharness is missing the lowest lame of the fauld. Seems as though I've seen too many 'Maximilian' cuirasses that are missing that lame. I have no idea why. |
