Hello,

I am hoping that I can get some insight on what sword is correct for a historically accurate re-enacting impression.

I am in need of a correct longsword/hand & a half for 1470s middlelands Germany (Hessen-Kassel) Holy Roman Empire.

Any suggestions on styles and who might carry reproductions?

Thank you very kindly,

How about the Arms & Armor Durer Bastard Sword? http://www.arms-n-armor.com/2000/catalog/item195.html

Also, their English longsword, which I believe could also have been used in Germany.

Thank you for the kind refferal, but these blades are far too rich for my avaliable resources. I was thinking more along the lines carried by such comapnies as Lutel or Del tin. Might there be another other sources avaliable?

Thank you,

Does anyone have reviews on swords by Hanwei?
