Hi people, been curious to know if any had knowledge about mongol sabers from the 13th century. i saw some depicted very similarily as magyar and others from the same era...

so i was wondering what made them different and how to tell them apart? i'm asking because i'd like to tackle a mongol saber project but since i only have a few pictures to go with i lack a bit more informations like was there a peened variant once upon a time?

i would think that they were pretty similar to a 9th century magyar from V. Berbekucz that i saw from a post here but i'm unsure... (i sure like the look of that blade! YUM!)

my go to steel would be 5160 since i have a bar of it but might have it waterjet cut in half lenghtwise for the ease of forging...

thanks for the help!

As far as I can tell they aren't any different to Turkish sabres from the same period. There seem to be a lot more extant Turkish sabres so it might prove productive to study those.

Isn't Hungarian and Magyar the same?
