English or German arming sword
length: 40 1/2"
Very nice Victorian example of an English or German arming sword. Great tone
to the long and light blade -
it does the "tuning fork" hum when flicked with a fingernal, makes great
movie-style "schwang!" when pulled
from the steel and brass scabbard. Maybe I should be marketing this as a
Singing Sword (Sorry). Rebated blade
with about half a dozen tiny marks from edge-to-edge contact with another
sword sometime in the Distant Past.
Overall a very nice 100-150 year old version of a sword from the
cutting-sword-to-rapier transitional era of the mid 1600's.
blade: 34 3/4"
blade width: 1 1/8" base
grip: 5 1/4"
guard: 6"
