Very well made analysis. What a great opportunity for you to have an authentic longsword to analyse and work with. Seems like someone has alot of trust in you to give it to you for testing am research. Thanks for sharing this experience with us.

The two side-rings being of different sizes is intriguing. You would think that you would make an S-shaped quillons guard with symmetric rings so you could rotate the sword along the longitudinal axis and access both edges as the true edge. The only reason to make one smaller is to make it easier to carry. So consideration was given to carrying the sword on a somewhat daily basis (since if it was once in a while, this wouldn't be so much of an issue).

Informative and entertaining! Looking forward to the promised summer videos.

Would you say that this piece fits you? Or I may ask if it would suit you when it was new. A little bit longer, more sturdy and slightly heavier.

There is a thread on vikingsword forums that suggests the blade marking is 16th c Venetian / Brescian. Look for a thread titled "Help on mark on Italian sword ca. 1580" in the European section. I've also seen it on at least one schiavona in recent times so that fits.

Can you do a close up on the point. Looks interesting

A very nice example. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful Sword! Do you know any blacksmith that can forge this kind of blade? I mean that thick and wide. Most of sword i've seen and pourchased looks thinner than historical Swords from museums. Even when blacksmiths were assures that their swords are great for HEMA or cutting.

To clean the blade itself ? Try some white vinegar with a steel bristled toothbrush. Gentle strokes only. Work small areas of the blade at a time. Wipe off with an old, soft rag. Would be interested to know results...

Oh man, that sound when cutting the air is too cool!

new video = like immediately!

What a wonderful opportunity to see such a longsword in the hands of one worthy to wield it. Great video. Thank you.

Wow! What an excellent sword! It’s like an artifact. It would be even better if it was polished and shiny.

the state of conservation is outstanding ! good video thx !

Welcome back poleax jesus

What a beauty!

I love the fact that your videos always provide a broader historical context both military and social/cultural in which weapons were used and were evolving. It is something that many other HEMA-related videos out there lack yet is so important to get a full picture. When it comes to the decline of traditional chivalry, I'd say that France and especially Poland will stand out as important exceptions from this rule.

Where do you get your pants?

This is really brilliant, hope to be able to handle an actual piece sometime in the future!

Very cool, my man. Love your vids, glad you're still here! What an amazing opportunity, and to be allowed to actually handle the sword, as it should be. It's poetic.

Might these be guild mars not forge marks?

An absolute treat that is!

The first time parachute pants were popular. The 80s was the second time.

Can you give any info on the provenance of this piece? Where was it sold? From which collection?

Yuppie, new video

I notice one of the rings is larger than the other Why limit the use of the sword to a single edge?

Love the analysis! Such a pleasure to see a nice historical piece in the hands of someone who knows the art Thank you, I hope to see more videos like this

If you're willing to share, I'd be curious about what you do to stay strong outside of HEMA.

Nice to finally see you post, the sword is beautifull.

This is so informative and well done :D We are grateful you are able to access and review such rare, old pieces. Fascinating stuff seeing such a weapon that probably DID see some real use in the day, and how it was probably used.

A very very beautiful blade and seemingly well balanced. I agree with you that it was probably longer prior to now, and is reminiscent of a Landsnecht sword. You are so lucky to have been able to enjoy it! Thank You so much for the opportunity to see this weapon. Skal

00:29 It's good that you are living your life don't apologize for that, your audience awaits you patiently for good content.

Very cool! Do we think this is a type XIX blade?

I want it do bad.. Can i order a replica?

Theres nothing like old steel its truly a work of art

🗿👍

Noch diesen Sommer? Was für ne Sommer???🥶🥶😁

Cool to sea you back and its a very nice sword you got there. I am amazed that you can still swing this old weapons whitout breaking it. These are very well made. But its allways so hard to focus on the weapons when you are in the frame no homo XD.

Fröhliche Weihnachten!
