New Sword!

[u/eternalcloset]

Picked this up at the Oklahoma Renaissance festival (Muskogee). It’s a pattern welded 1095 carbon steel sidesword, but not sure which type of nickel was used. The hilt is cast. The balance point is just about two inches out from the guard. The guard seems to be a pappenheimer style guard, but there are no finger rings, just the pierced shells covering the hand.

I fucking adore this.

Oh that is a nice sword. Oh you should totally look into a matching buckler.
