- I'm back with another sword unboxing and as you can see from the hour length of the video I had a very productive month traveling and finding new stock.
In this video are good examples of swords dating from the 17th to 19th centuries including rapiers, broadswords, sabres and hangers.

nice video. Very rare to see a compilation of different swords across the spectrum in one go; the short commentary for each sword is great for newbies like me
Fell in love with the last 3 swords :0
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
Love those hangers. Especially the silver hilt'd . But all of them were nice. I would own them all if I could afford it. Especially those Mameluke's on the wall. Cheers
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
Huel better be paying you for the product placement.
One of these days I'll get sponsored!
Hello ! Thanks for posting such a great video
I have some questions
1) Was the Indian Basket hilted sword used in the same way as the Tulwar ?
2) Why was this Firangi /Sirohi not as popular as the Tulwar despite the better hand protection ?
Hey hey Rami, so the grip style of most Indian baskets have more room than a tulwar, even with large hands I can get a sabre grip in about half of them. They make for rather nice swords for someone more used to British military fencing.
As to the firanghi and sirohi I'm pretty sure it's just a preference Vs cost issue, there are less munitions grade swords of those styles. If you were issued or carried a basic sword it's more likely to be simple and local.
@@thierrytheswordguy6913 Thank you so much Thierry. Sources from the period tell us that the "Natives" always cut and never thrust with their swords. Do you think that the Basket hilted Indian swords fit into this description ?
@@ramibairi5562 I feel like these are the exception, most basket hilts and firangis tend to be a bit higher end so I'm pretty sure they may have had more extensive and possibly even foreign fencing instruction
