I have found a more recent article that sheds more light on this matter... to cut a long story short, the three swords seized in Poland are definitely fake. http://www.newsweek.pl/polska/awantu...,3548,1,1.html It seems that the seller "Piotr P." is Peter Pajewski, the son of one Edward Pajewski who I have heard of before... a blacksmith who has a legitimate(?) side business producing aged reproduction swords. Piotr told the police that he had made the swords himself, but the police did not believe him and proceeded to announce to the media that they had recovered "national treasures". A blog post claims that Edward now boasts of the incident, taking it as praise for the quality of his work! http://paul-barford.blogspot.ca/2010...ord-sword.html I found another photo of probably the same sword on a Polish message board, and a photo of some similar swords in what looks like an album of Edward Pajewski's metalwork. Two of them look very much like your sword, I'm sorry to say.  http://odkrywca.pl/chcial-sprzedac-s...cz,620427.html http://kowale.eu/foto/picture.php?/90/category/5 |
