Just picked up this Spanish Sword.
What date range does this fit?
Any ideas about the Makers Mark? Its the same on both sides, difficult to read but appears to be LEGAPRA. Theres a Crowned I on one side.

The name on the blade would be the maker's.
It be the traditional "boca de caballo" (horse's mouth).

That's probably not a bad place to start.
Www.Landshuter-Ruestkammer.de I picked up a copy off Eban a few years ago .
Worth a look.
I don't know that particular book but in an upcoming German auction(18th May) there are numerous edged weapon books .

In the Museum line they are as closely replicates of an actual period sword as it was when newly made.
But not based on a specific sword.

Hello,
You don't say who the maker is: if it's a Wilkinson, then the serial number dates it to 1930 commission as a 2nd Lieutenant was in 1930, fitting in nicely with the date of the sword, for example.

Quality modern samurai sword
I want a quality samurai sword. I don't care if it's made by traditional techniques. Quality new steel is good for me.
Ideas?

It isn't an meaningful catchall if your budget doesn't go above $1,000 .

I have acquired a very unusual sword which I take to be a variant Luftwaffe sword. The pommel and cross guard have raised laurel leaves, and the mounts have unusual decoration. The sword is completely unmarked, no makers mark, numbers or anything. The...

A metal and running.
A guard is not really useful on a camp sword.
Look at some of the Bolo and Smachete shaped to make for a better camp sword/chopper.
It might help a newer maker decide to do this build .
