A History of the Heart Symbol in Weapons (ridiculously in-depth look)

[@Davlavi]

Interesting topic.

[@ObjectHistory]

Thanks. Knew no one else would ever make a YT video on it!

[@sbcinema]

Hear in Bavaria, this symbol is traditionally used for the shape of the window opening in the door of an outhouse ❤

9:30 dussage - dusack (maybe a country or regional spelling) part of the growth of the saber line of swords - scholagladiatoria has some videos on dusacks

He's really good, I'm always backed up on seeing his content.

15:30 look at the guard on that sword - does not seem to be a typical tsuba - might be korean or other country sword and not a japanese sword -- also the sheath/scabbard if that is what that long object on the front of the man is - looks like its metal

Nice laukaa mainittu

Actually It would be the Portuguese to have influenced the heart symbol in the tsubas, If we go with that theory. I'm dubious about it though. when we get together next let's get more in depth about the Yamabushi.

Are we sure those symbols are "hearts"? See the coat of arms of the Italian Colleoni family.

Damn, now that's interesting.
