Very nice Curtis, I'd say you are right in that my Samson Broadsword is a sister to yours blade and guard look identical but with different pommel and bluing , don't have scales for the weight but blade is 28.5 inches and OAL is 37.5 inches, is a great handling sword and very easy to move.
Sean once asked me how the pommel was attached and I was unsure, maybe you have a better idea, I know mine are rock solid and have never moved no matter what I do to them.

This is here till I can work out how to add a Photo

I'm not sure how the pommel is attached on mine either. I've never been able to find much information about these swords other than what is written on the Jody Samson galleries. I wonder if someone at Albion might have more information? I agree though, they are rock solid and will not budge. Both of mine ring like bells when the blade is struck.

Nice piece Curtis. I believe Jody's pieces are threaded and probably epoxied as well. Here is an x ray of a Seaward which appears to show a threaded tang and a bare blade with a step down for threading i believe.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT
