C14th longsword
Reproduced from the original that a friend of the customers found in a river in France!
Millimetric dimensions were sent along with photographs, and here is what the sword likely looked like originally -

Re: C14th longsword
Very cool!
"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the
children of men as a whole experience it. . .Avoiding danger is no safer in
the long run than outright exposure. . . Life is either a daring adventure or
nothing."

Re: C14th longsword
The blade is EN45 spring steel and the grip is pine core and leather wrapped (cross-stitched up the back).

Re: C14th longsword
How thick is the blade about halfwaydown? I presume it has distal taper.
