A wavy blade from??
I found this wavy blade at a Dutch collectors website. They look for all sorts of excavated items but couldn't determine what this is.
It looks like a short version of the Flamberge swords.. but this is far out of my field of expertise :confused: Maybe some other members can shed light into this subject. No dimensions or other pictures are available but they are very eager to assist according to there website. http://www.dutchartefacts.nl/?page_id=322 http://i57.tinypic.com/2q1icfc.png |

the construction of the short tang, on which the strong tapering handle/grip is fixed with a single pin, so that inside of barrel is not damaged, reveals that this is a plug bayonet. 17th C.!
they have a hilt so could also be used as a dagger. they were also made from broken rapier blades, whether this is the case here, I do not know. best, Jasper |
Just a guess ...
Doesn't it look like this blade was shortened in both ends ? This judging by the by the fuller, which ends too far into the point and starts too close from the tang ... no ricasso at all. As Jasper suggests, a blade either modified for a plug bayonet or for a dagger ... probably salvaged from a broken sword :o . |
looks Persian to me .
