Title: sword more appropriate ?
Post by: Sir Wolf on 2010-07-18, 02:58:20

i have 2 swords that I am thinking of using for my kit. both are average 12th- early 14th century but i thought i would run by which one should i use?

(http://dragonimpact.com/biz/images/5008070.jpg) i wish i could get the pommel off of it so i could grind down the center of the blade.

I'd use the first one, with the disc pommel. It's viable for 12th-14th just fine, I think. The second piece doesn't work so well once you get into the mid 13th and beyond.

I agree. The first one is more appropriate for the timeline you're going for.
