Hi, great pics and info guys.
Any good moderen replica walloons about (away from the custom ones I mean)

Thanks
I am not sure if this Darkwood replica is strictly speaking a Walloon. Nice blunt sword still.

Gentlemen:

I ran across the website below while over at the Vikingsword.com site.

I don't know how close these would fall to the Walloon classification, but it seems that they would be, at the very least, kissin' cousins. Schwedendegen!
Just to finish this thread off, here are a couple of photos of the custom Walloon that A&A made for me. I know, old news.

Walloon horseman's saber
One more example to add to the collection: This European horseman's saber has a Walloon-type hilt with a 38" (96.8 cm) single edged blade. The entire length of the sword is 43 1/2" (110.5 cm). Engraving on each side includes a star, moon, sun, and arm in the clouds with sword. c.1650-1690.

Walloon Swords
[ Linked Image ]
The hatchet-point Walloon sword is quite rare in my opinion.
Hi, this is my first post and I have to apologize for opening a dormant thread...

For a long time I have been trying to make my mind about a sword that could be from 1620-1640 and has both Walloon and I will say Swedish traits (the S quillons). Because of the typical blade I decided finally to register and ask for the forum opinion in a Walloon thread. The pommel is very nice and fit well but is not typical. I have never seen anything like the total. Of course it could be a Victorian mongrel.

Measurements are something like 117cm total length, 93cm blade and 1495gr total weight. There is a thumb ring. The handle shows signs of being covered in acute angles designs of wire. Later was also covered by glued leather (remains). The front edge seems to have been sharpened more often than the back.

As you can see from the pictures, the thing seems to have been constructed to be used with gauntles. It handles very nicely with them on.

After some months in consideration, I have adopted this example.

While those know me as a spadroon nut, or eagle pommel nut; I also have a range of cavalry swords over the centuries. My earliest sabre is about a century after this posted walloon type. It has a Wundes king blade mark as well. My sabre soon before the mark rights were sold to the Weyersburg family.

This walloon really kind of rounds out my assortment of early modern cavalry swords. If I ever adopt an earlier mortuary, I'll be rounding the collecting back another century. With a blade just shy of 35", it certainly seems meant for mounted use.

Cheers

That is a really good looking Walloon. I am very envious.
