A question: From the pictures these swords look to be similar to Small Swords or Hangers or? anyone have a link or an idea if anyone makes parts like these weapons?

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!
Happy
