I am an unabashed fanboy of Peter's work. Ha! It's all awesome stuff.
Thank you Tony for sharing the pics. I noticed the different corrosion patern too, and then I noticed Peter already mentioned it. Bronze huh... I think that would look pretty neat.

Maybe this will interest you: http://forums.swordforum.com/showthread.php?t=56047
Though the thread is mainly about the messers' smaller cousin; the bauernwehr/rugger - there are also some refrences to the messer.

I think Lutel might have had one or two, if I remember correctly.

OK Fab,
The messer was found in Germany, Complete lenth = 27" , Grip to of pommel = 6.70"
Widest part of blade = 2" Has six holes to attatch grip. This is a nasty weapon but the balance and size would make it I`m sure winner in battle. Hope this is of help.
Tony..

I actually sent em a mail about the messer just 5min ago. That one looks nice, but its hard to tell from a picture how well its really made.
Ive also really gotten smitten by this sort of hilt; http://www.olofsgillet.org/marsch/images/_MG_1659.jpg - and im trying to locate the original that has this type of hilt.

That messer is so good lookin', it almost hurts!
