Thanks for the elucidation on Lwow, etc. Instead of sword 'making' I might have used 'cutler' as clearly the blades being used were from other BLADE making centers. Good points on the use of 'national' terms as in those times as there were principalities, kingdoms, city states, duchies or whatever the appropriate geopolitical terms used in describing the select regions being noted.
Also well noted on the descriptions of weapons in these categories with auctions, sellers etc. as they seldom reach the empirically and academically detailed pedigrees that delve into these complexities of the swords of these regions.
Well described and noted!
