Jokers hey
  No Joker here Ariel You ask for a cross guard and I am trying to ascertain what style you are after. I will dig out some images if you wish for my help Ariel and perhaps you can identify what style you would prefer to be sourced...Alternatively you could post an image of your preferred style, images always help greatly.

Hey, I thought you were joking! Apologies offered.
The sword I have is an Eastern European kilij-type with a Hungarian blade. Most likely, cossack. They employed a variety of parts and styles. The most popular one was a kilij-type crossguard and they also used a karabela-type pattern. Here are examples: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Imperial_Armoury_Topkapi_Istanbul_(7).JPG or the one with down-turned quillons, like that: http://www.polishhussarsupply.com/Products.html It needs to be brass. If you have one, please send me pics and detailed measurements to: abarkan@umich.edu Tons of thanks! Ariel |
