I collect Norwegian military weapons and Norway's first army for a Danish king was in the early 1600's. Christian IV appointed an army of farmers through law. 8000 were equipped with dussack/tessaks bought second hand from the European continent in the late 16. and early17. century and sold to the farmers at self cost.
These come in many shapes and forms as shown here: http://norskevaapen.no/?p=1776
I am prepared to pay well for good swords. The one on the attached picture is a type A tessak.
