Hi guys ...
I want to know something about this sword... I don't know exactly what it is.. seems like a two handed chopper to me but maybe I'm wrong.. there's no guard.. no grip...
And do you know where can I find something similar ?

Maybe a type of mace, instead of a sword?.............McM

Mart...
your post seems the right thing... so .. have you seen in the market swords like this without hand guard?... seems like a glaive sword..

Aren't we dealing with about a fifty year discrepancy between these two illustrations?

Yes. And if you consider the Macijowski examples at c. 1250, The Willehalm at c. 1300, and the Alexander at c. 1350 we've got a full century spread.

Neat! I've never seen those flavors of the Morgan Bible war cleavers before - it would be great if more makers were interested in producing them. I've seen the Del Tins and the Stage Combat repros before, but these look much better in terms of quality.
