Etienne,
Try using the search function for the forums. Falchions have been discussed many, many times around here. :) You can also check our Spotlight Topic page, as there is a thread on there about the difference betweren the falchion and messer.

You didn't look hard enough. :)

The image you just posted is of Del Tin's replica of a weapon found in the Maciejowski Bible, commonly called a "chopper" by people today. Posting that image to start with or mentioning what Del Tin was replicating would have been helpful. As I've said in the past, please try to help us by giving us more info from the beginning. This is a very specific type of falchion; a more specific might get you more specific info. :)

Del Tin says it is "FALCHION SWORD, mid 13th Century. From the Maciejowsly [sic] bible. Overall lenght [sic] cm 88, weight 1450 gr."

Searching for the word "chopper" turns up these threads ("maciejowski falchion" would have worked too):

There are probably more. Happy hunting!
