Many of these Victorian period photographs were studio situated using various items kept as props. The big sword simply (as usual) is assumed to be an 'executioner' sword, much as with the Chinese swords etc. with large blades. I agree, the simpler more rugged pieces, strictly business, are far more to my tastes as well as they are more representative of arms actually used. |
