Hi Jim

Very flattering as always. Yes, I might do a book one day, the articles that I publish in Barrels and Blades will ultimately become a book. This particular sword is unusual as it has a very large, curved blade, other examples I have seen have always had broadsword blades. I believe it is too large and cumbersome to be of Infantry use so I am now leaning towards Cavalry Sabre (Sabre given the curved blade) or Campaign Sabre, which will pop it into the same group as my previously described as Walloons, which I just posted yesterday.

PS: I am on the hunt for articles for Barrels and Blades, any chance Jim or anyone out there who would like to be published member or not. Our only provision for publication is the subject is a minimum of 100 Years old.

Here is a free link to a free member copy of our July issue and our YouTube as well, just in case anyone is interested:
