Welcome back Radu

Thank you for sharing these images with us. You are very good photographer.

In post 3 picture 3 there is a shamsir with a brass “eye” in the hilt. I had always a question about this feature. I think it is late 19th but never found a quote about it. For sure it is not medieval.

What is very interesting is 2 photos below the shamshir with the brass scabbard. It looks very old and a kind of European.

Also I love this Schiavona in the hands of battle suit. One of the most beautiful swords ever made.

I wait for more pics

Radu, first of all thank you very much for sharing these pics with us. Specially because the enormous wealth of information regarding European Arms and Armour that is coming from the so-called eastern countries adds a lot of new perspectives to the academic studies on this subject. So, it's always extremely interesting to see new exemplars. In addition to the eye candy, of course...

BTW, might I ask for some additional information, if available (hey, one has to have hope...) regarding the sword shown in Post 2 Picture 2, as well as the sword held by the armour shown in Post 4 Picture 5?

Thanks again for everything.

Marc
