Fellow travelers on the adventure through life. I want to welcome you all to this community, where we share our love for history, and tell each other stories of a past long lost. 🏹

So many things happened on this dusty rock, but so little we still remember. If there is something you love to know more about, or something that has been in the back of your mind for a while. Something you found on the attic, or something you've been trying to understand.📜

Go ahead, share, discover, discuss and, most of all, create!

Where the 17th century is generally considered to be the age of rapiers and sabers, and cutlasses when we're talking about swords. The broadsword wasn't still completely out of fashion. As seen by the reconstruction of this Walloon broadsword.

I created this model after an artifact from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. I really enjoyed it's design, especially it's proportions. It's blade might be thought of as the traditional medieval side-sword but with a, for then, modern hilt.

The hilt with it's decorated twisted wire was a bit of a challenge to get right, but I'm satisfied with the outcome.

Are there swords from this later period that you find particularly beautiful, surprising or interesting? I love to reconstruct more less widely known sword designs!
