I'm not much as a source of information, but they remind me nimchas. Moroccan, if I'm right. I don't have a clue at if they are original or repro... I leave that for the more experienced ones. :) ...

I experienced that any kind of cutout in a blade, especially when long, can and will cause disgusting vibration while impacting. I don't know what this sword is, but I would've never used it. Blah,...

Viking out, they used quite different hilt parts, and preferred much shorter hilts. Especially the pommel seems out of place for anything viking.
Roman out as well as far as I know, as they used...

Hm, isn't it a little familiar, Aqtai? (http://sepsik.freeweb.hu/bemutato/keso-romai-sisak/eredeti.html) :D This is the guy who tested the lamellar.

Indeed, faaaar better... One of my friends made one out of 1mm spring steel, and was quite suprised when most arrows bounced off without denting the metal... the rest left small dents, but none have...

Norm of Silk Roads said that the main distinction between turkish and russian krug is that the latter is made with leather straps. So I wasn't suprised on that. :)
So these were worn on finer mail?...

Even as I didn't ever study chinese MAs, I recall short-edge usage from my deep memories of a lesson from a relative... :) Which means that a jian is not only straight but double-edged as well. If...

I'm not an expert, but why would be a broad blade be a sign of earliness? I mean, it doesn't seem like as if it'd be compensating for weaker material. And as eastern armour was never as widespread or...

Even as I'm not Ian... I think that Jians are made with a bit narrower and more paralell blades. I might be wrong.

And the edges seem too...
