That thing is a brute! The fullers are gorgeous, but I have always wondered about potential spikes in the stress load of the blade where they terminate and transition into the next set. A study into that would make for an interesting exercise in blade design.

Oh thats beautiful. I'm going to have to visit the museum again soon! Also, there's a XIIIb there that I'm thinking of having someone replicate.

DAMN!! Now THAT is a sword! One of the first thoughts that came to me when I saw the photos was how would a sword like that handle? What if an enterprising smith made a sword with that blade configuration and a less ornate handle and someone put it through it's paces? I think that would be fascinating!

Holy hell, now that is a beaut!
Say on the subject of English Civil War swords, if I may- has anyone came across one of Major-General Hezekiah Haynes?
He was in fact my direct 9th great grandfather.

The Cromwell museum (in Huntingdon I believe) has two more swords that are believed to have been owned by the king-killer himself. They’re both mortuary jilted swords but look a little more ornate than that beast. I think they’re able to be seen on their website and twitter.
