I am pretty sure that nearly all of these so-called "Sinclair Hilts" have thumb-rings.


Hi Kirk-

You showed this photo, above:

I'm pretty sure that is the original on which my reproduction was based:

These are the photos of the original that I used for inspiration:

Looks the same.

Hey Nathan...

I thought that I had seen a replica of that piece. You're right it looks to be the same sword. It would be nice to know the stats. Especially weight and POB.

hi,
i am very interested to this discussion...
i would like to reenact an Italian tercio soldier of the former part of the 17th century.
Would that character have that kind of sword?
or, changing the terms of the question:
could that kind of sword be found in italy in the beginning of the 17th century?
thank you very much for the answer..
