The blade is by a blade from Prague museum, by German swordcuttler Heinrich Goll (inscriptions ENRIQVE COEL and EN ALAMANIA in the fullers). The hilt is by two very similar hilts from Malbork (Polen, before World War II it was East Prussia) and Vienna (Austria). The pommel and parts of the guard are inlaid by brass.
The basket guard is full forge-welded from 300 years old welded iron. All parts of the sword (in originals) are dated around AD 1600. |

My last sword was a "continental" basket-hilt modeled after originals in Poland, Austria, and Prague.
It was created by Patrick Bárta, TEMPL Historic Arms of the Czech Republic. This is what he had to say of it: Will share more details at a later time. |

My most recent acquisitions came from two very fine and friendly swordsmiths in the Czech Republic.
The first is a Sinclair Hilt with a falchion blade by Vladimir Cervenka (stay tuned to myArmoury for a review of this sword). The most recent is my dream sword... a creative reconstruction by Patrick Barta of the Fetter Lane pommel and upper grip in the British Museum. It is a beautiful and deadly sword weighing in at just under 3 pounds. enjoy ks |
