Mark, thank you so much again!
Is there a date for the Romanian sword? Kind regards Andreas |

I think the museum and publications have only dated it as 14th century. I would guess earlier in the century rather than later. Picture is from the article "Középkorikardok a Székely Nemzeti Múzeum gyűjteményeiben".

It looks a bit like a few swords found in Transylvania:
1 - inv. 2874 at the Muzeul Judeţean Mureş (sword nr. 4) https://www.medievistica.ro/texte/ar...alan.htm#_ftn8 2 - inv. 3221 at the Muzeul Banatului - TIMIȘOARA http://clasate.cimec.ro/Detaliu.asp?...113EC1A12E6EF7 (higher res. https://mnab.ro/wp-content/uploads/2...afia-nr.-2.jpg) 3 - inv. M 3876 Hamba sword http://clasate.cimec.ro/Detaliu_en.a...B023C9CB1E1CF9 A more detailed description is here (page 95): https://www.academia.edu/10501840/Sp...iu_2007_ed_II_ 4 - inv. 238 at Muzeul Național Secuiesc - SFÂNTU GHEORGHE http://clasate.cimec.ro/Detaliu.asp?...DA7DE866F82BDE 5 - inv. 237 at Muzeul Național Secuiesc - SFÂNTU GHEORGHE http://clasate.cimec.ro/Detaliu.asp?...61DACF386539D6 Quote:

For an Albert Durer engraving with a similar hilt being carried by a "peasant", see post number 8 http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=Albrecht in this thread of his works. I dated it to 1497, but I could have been off a few years (or the previous post in this thread references a different engraving).
Great sword, by the way! |
