Welcome back Radu

Thank you for sharing these images with us. You are very good photographer.

In post 3 picture 3 there is a shamsir with a brass “eye” in the hilt. I had always a question about this feature. I think it is late 19th but never found a quote about it. For sure it is not medieval.

What is very interesting is 2 photos below the shamshir with the brass scabbard. It looks very old and a kind of European.

Also I love this Schiavona in the hands of battle suit. One of the most beautiful swords ever made.

I wait for more pics
