    thumb loops on hilts are usually associated with more cut oriented cultures and index finger loops are associated with thrust oriented cultures

    that early modern Chinese short sword is very similar to the Artillery swords / Cabbage chopper . . . . of Europe at the same time probably has a European made blade as well

    The second nimcha is simply a different sword type altogether, although they are related. The first is from Morocco or Algeria and the other is from Zanzibar or Oman. The peen block represents a turtle. That type of blade is a typical style for the Arabian peninsula. I have one with a straight blade and it's one of my favorite swords to hold. That grip is super comfortable with my leather glove on.

    If im not mistaken in India many of their blades were scarf welded in sections like that from the outset. Especially when it came to really long blades like the Khanda. I pretty sure Matt over at Scholagladitoria has talked about it b4 as well.

    Btw i would suspect that little hanger belonged to a Freemason. I recognize the symbols etc on the blade as being similar to others ive seen in hanging in masonic halls here in the USA.

  • @JCOwens-zq6fd
    @JCOwens-zq6fd 9 місяців тому

    Very nice. When it comes to melee weapons another reason we Americans much prefer(ed) the tomahawk & the large bowie knife to things like the sword is that the shorter weapons fit our hit & run tactics better. I myself am half native & many of the people at the time were at least either part native or lived in close enough proximity that the native fighting styles "rubbed off on us". Plus we just had more tomahawks & large knives available. Cheers!

    • @thierrytheswordguy6913
      @thierrytheswordguy6913 Рік тому

      I haven't seen any production copies but it's not uncommon for aight stamp to be missing or for it to be a non standard officers piece of the same style.

    • @puddingjas

    Interesting that the ears on the backstrap are the full D rather than the thin tab style on mine. Do you think this is a troopers version as Dellar suggests?

  • @JCOwens-zq6fd

    Basically an africanized roman spatha, which considering their roots as an Orthodox Christian/Catholic nation & their trade in goods as well as cultural ideas it doesn't surprise me at all.

    the Mamluke sabre would have been consider a Messer in German terminology due to the design of the hilt

  • @raphlvlogs271

    Mine was delivered by "Galt & Son, Naval & Regimental taylors, Portsmouth", with a transitional blade putting it at 1844-45. Those early ones are so beautiful.

  • @raphlvlogs271

    the Nymcha probably first started out only having a U shaped cross guard and the full knuckle bow was added on it due to European influence

  • @raphlvlogs271
    @raphlvlogs271 Рік тому

    a lot of Indo Persian swords of the 18-19 centuries had hilts that are as protective as many European swords of the same era
