Hi Im Jurian from Amsterdam, 18 years old and just registered as a member :)
I've collect some (ancient) weapons the last 2 years
I bought a sword, it was Found in the Balkans, Iron and 76 cm long.

The shape of the the first sword is that of a Messer. What are the statistics of the sword? Assuming it is legitimate, and the state of preservation is consistant with a medieval excavated sword, you have a nice addition to a collection. Did this sword come from a dealer, or an individual.
The luristan pieces are well outside my area of study.

This may also be an eastern -european sword from anywhere 9-12c. These are several Hungarian and Russian swords from this period with similar blades, but the tang is the odd one out. In the records that I have there is not a clear parallel to your picture.

some more info: Overall Length 75cm, Grip Length 14, Guard width 10,5 Blade Width 3,5/2,5 Blade Length 61 cm
I bought the sword for little money from a dealer, He only knew it was found in the balkans (his expertise was roman)
thanks for the help
