Drack2k, Thank you very much for sharing photos of your new acquisitions as they are each beautiful pieces in their own right. I must also say that I am also in agreement with Detlef on not only his opinion on these swords, but with the idea that each of these deserve their own separate thread.

Best,
Robert

Thank you. Lately I've been going with the shotgun approach, posting several pieces and letting the Forum comment on what if anything that interests them, knowing full well what might appeal to me, might not to others.

If you would not mind posting them, I would like to see a few photos showing the hilts on the longer swords on the right hand side of the group photo.

Best,
Robert

I think these are the pictures that you requested.Sorry that I could not provide pictures sooner, but I have to depend on my wife to take them; usually this is not a problem, unless I open my big mouth(which usually is a problem), which can cause delays in the picture taking process.

Hello Drac2k, Thank you for posting the photos of these two very interesting swords. I am very sorry it has taken so long for my reply, but I have been extremely preoccupied with trying to get caught up on a work backlog and just now noticed them. I know that I should have ask about measurements at the same time I requested the photos, but as I did not, would you also be so kind as to supply them as well?

Best,
Robert

No problem, that I can do; 25" and 27" long respectively.
