    Interersting how similar it looks to many European bronze age swords.

    The ramp to the hilt is interesting. Under certain circumstances I can see that being more dangerous since the opposing blade could run down the blade past the hilt. The welding technique for this would have to account for that

      I think this piece is mostly ceremonial rather than practical, but that’s a very interesting observation. I didn’t pick up on that when I looked at it.

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
