Hi guys,
I just recently was on E-bay and couldn't pass up this excellent bargain for a Euro (Medieval?) One handed sword.
It was listed as a 1060 carbon steel tempered blade (not folded) full tang and wooden handle. Also comes with a synthetic leather scabbard. (blade came well oiled) The P.O.B feels to be about 5 or 6" from bottom of cross-guard.
The seller posted extremely fast and it arrived today which was good.
Sword looks very nice and has a fairly light and easy to wield feel to it. The blade is dull though.
It was listed as a "Solingen" sword, I'm not that familiar with this type.
I'm interested to know which Country and time period this kind style originated. It looks similar to some others I've seen on this forum, except the pommel isn't rounded.
Would anyone happen to know who makes this as well? There was no manufacturer information available. In the meantime it has been good for practice swinging and thrusting. I'll be getting a proper battle ready sharp Euro next in a few months.
I'm getting so addicted to swords lately and I'm always on the look out for my next one to grow my collection.. :shock:
Any help appreciated.
Cheers.
