Damian, It is a real pleasure to see how the swords and scabbards are made. Being able to appreciate the details, the pommels, forming the recess in the guard to secure the blade, the chape. Thank you for all the splendid photographs.

Damian,
Are you actually staking the guard in place? If so, I've not seen that before!

I like the look of the black oxide fittings. I see black fittings in period artwork of this age on occasion so it could very well be a period correct finish.

Yes I usualy make it in this way, then the guard is immobile . There are some examples of this method in history. Offen the guard was also forged from the side and pressed to the fuller. There are many examples in history that the whole in crossguard was too loose and then it was immobile with the handle. I think that most of swordmakers make it in this way.

Thank you. It was an idea of my clien and I think it look very good. it is not hemical oxide. It is made in vey high temperature - the surface is partly burned out - it is something like antiques.

The blade is type 5 in Geibig's classification. It is a long, big blade and it has incredible blow strength.
All elements are full handmade - forged blade, holes in the crossguard and pommel forged in a traditional way and a socketforged by hand from sheet of

The pattern on the scabbard was carved in 3D way. without the punches with a ready pattern and without ready-made rollers.

Wow! This is amazingly beautiful. When I can afford it I would love a type X like that. Perhaps a bit less fancy :P
