I posted pics of my latest AND very first European sword in the off-topic forum in my 'intro' post. Here it is again:
Smith-forged type XVIIIc German 'civilian' longsword 42.5" overall 33" blade Differentially tempered and heat treated 1075 steel, sharp Made in PA, USA by bladesmith Jeremy Eichelberger. All-natural materials, maple hilt core, black willow scabbard core, plant based leather dyes. It is lively and feels great in the hand. It is made with care and upon close inspection has a perfect handmade character to it. You can tell nothing about it involved a CNC or CAD program and I love that aspect of it. I bought a sharp sword as my first Euro sword to help get me excited and inspired to study HEMA. I am hoping to commission another sword with Jeremy at a later date. |

That is a very nice sword you have there. Do you have any additional info on sword in particular weight and pommel construction, is it peened specifically.
