well - thank you all guys 
Matthew - I`m just working always at the same time with a few pieces - and then - when it comes to finishing - you can see also a few swords
now - for example - I`m on the finish with second Brescia sword and another viking type H - reconstruction of the sword from river Vaal - bigger sword - real beast (about 2kg weight, 60mm blade width) ... I will show you the results of course soon...

This has long been one of my favorite swords and I've always longed to see a recreation. Looks great! I'd have loved to see the inlay like the original but I like it clean like this too! Very, very cool sword!

thank you.
Robert - I was looking for it - but no - only pictures from the books...
I was asking the museum but they didnt answer - and this is too far from my place...
ion the book the measurements are quite well described - but only with drawings...
I will do the inlays on that one - but only with oxide - it depends on budget in this case

Here is a nice drawing I have of the whole sword... It's more complete than the drawing in Marek's book. I don't know the source unfortunately...

I concur! You are on fire lately, lots of goods out of the shop.
Your website has a lot of content, but can't find any prices in there, which is a shame (I bet lots of potential customers would love to get such details). Again, an English version would be nice too (I know I repeat myself ).
Nice Facebook page too, lots going there as well.
Anyway, very nice work, and damn good looking invalides falchion - keep it up!

Thanks Julien! nice to hear that.
website will be in English - but I dont know exactly when... the problem is that I have to do it all myself - alone.
I`m just trying share informations with people - in Poland was no such website before - it takes me a lot of time to build this and gather new stuff, preparing publication texts and photos... some people from Poland already want to help me with this - thanks to them!
about the prices - there can be no price list for museum handmade sword reconstructions... it depends also on the details and custom wishes - not only on particular sword example... anyway- I will think about this in future
the point is that for me it`s not a business - but the art and passion.
thank you for your opinion and important suggestions !
