Hello Iain,
The analysis of the swords using the literature is wonderful. It would be a fantastic complement the use of chemical analyzes and comparisons. There is already such a study? |

Unfortunately not to my knowledge. I believe such techniques would require material samples from the blades. Personally I am not willing to sacrifice anything in my collection like that.  As far as I know - there is not an exact test for dating iron. However it is possible to analyse the composition of iron, such as the carbon content. However if someone knows of lab tests that could accomplish this without somewhat destructive sampling required... I would be extremely happy to hear about it!

Hi Regihis,
I am familiar with this study. Unfortunately, as far as I know this requires a cross section of the blade. This is the somewhat invasive method I was referring to before. |

Hi Ibrahiim,
I'm well aware of the thread. There's one piece in the thread posted by Fernando, that fits my criteria. A German executioner's sword. One of the reasons I started this thread.  But thanks for linking it!
