Artzi, thank you so very much for posting this most amazing sword, a fantastic piece of history that has reposed for so many years beneath the sand. It is wonderful to have the opportunity to view and discuss this here, and I look forward to views from those here with key knowledge on swords of these important historic times.
I'm with Gav, I'd love to be out there with a metal detector too
but in the meantime, thanks to you Artzi, we have one here to see!
All very best regards,
Jim
