Bonjour+beautiful example, thanks for posting.
The Pallasch (Hungary: Pallos= broadsword) is a cut and thrust weapon with a straight blade. Originally, the pallasch was a saber with an almost straight blade and a basket with center bar as hand protection. used by the heavy cavalry. so the answer is yes, some call this type of back and broadsword indeed Pallasch. I myself see the Pallasch later appear in the 18th century in Austria, England and Denmark. See an example of typical Pallasch swords. your sword: It has a single edged blade therefor it is called a backword. ( if it has a double edged blade , a broadsword. ) The development with the decorated ebossed convex plates previously started around the mid of the 17th century with the so-called half hilts swords. best, Jasper Last edited by cornelistromp; 7th March 2014 at 08:28 AM. |
