I'm not familiar with the sword pictured but if it is parts you are looking for (or even whole swords that are somewhat similar) browse through
http://www.chevalierdauvergne.com/

Click th e British flag for the English. They've quite a few historical reproductions and the theatrical section sells lots of different parts. I have a hunch they may supply www.amfence.com ,or at least have the same sources.

What was the source for and context of the the photo?

Duh, yeah, the Vatican. Wiki has a better overall photo of it.

Cheers

Hi,
I don't know what kind of sword it is but it seems that they have (...had?) some very nice zweihander as well!
