The earliest sabers

Hello Teodor,

It's hard to make a distinction between geographical locations and peoples in the Migration period, I think in terms of peoples for that reason.
The Magyars, Khazars, Bulgars and a bunch of other people were mixed up together but I guess it's easiest to say Magyar for the 4th sword in the pic since the Hungarian museums have a lot of similar swords.

The straight sword posted-- that is a nice old one from east of the Urals for sure. I remember it was online a few years ago, been way over cleaned. Whoever found it should have left it alone. Anybody know where it is now?

The last sword on the pics is a real nice one too, does it have the hilt parts? If so it would be great to see them. Will try to post one of mine that is complete.
