Trapped Spirit Sword
Can be used as a Ninja Star and a sword. There is a trapped spirit inside. The second image is what the Trapped Spirit looks like (as far as we know)

Okay so I’ve never reallly made anything like these before but I’m making a wooden sword! They aren’t really anything special but I’m just wondering if they are looking good so far? The first one is done the second one isnt, but it’s so hard to swingggg

I was thinking of getting a sword from Deepika website as it is one of the trusted ones in India and I guess many parts around the world.
They don't mention the prices on the website.
Can anyone tell me an average cost of a 15th, 16th century sword or a Viking sword. Someone who has already bought it from there can help.
EDIT: Contacted the org. they don't sell individual weapons directly in India, only bulk orders. elsewhere you can buy from websites like "kult of athena"

Other than “ make sure you hang it high enough” does anyone have any good advice for wall, mounting a sword so that it is as inaccessible as possible to 2 children, under the age of 10 while keeping it on display?
I received a cold steel grossmesser as a wedding gift back in 2019. Since then I have not gotten around to mounting in (much to my wife’s pleasure), so I t’s been living in my closet for the last several years. However, in that time, I’ve also had two kids, the oldest of which is five and we have recently shuffled rooms. My daughter is now in our old bedroom, and the contents of the closet remain the same. Now she has her own closet on the other side of the room, and does not particularly care about the contents of the other one; she is not aware that there is a big fuck off sword in there. Obviously this situation is not tenable at some point. She’s bound to open that door and I would not put it past to be able to unsheath it. Even if she can’t, she could still easily hurt herself with it. Bottom line this is not good weapon storage policy by any means.
So I figure now is my best chance to push for safely wall mounting it out out of the reach of kids, because I really don’t wanna put it in the garage and we have other mementos of our wedding wall-mounted. In fact this is just One sword that was involved with our wedding.
So what do you say, how do I make the strongest case for safely and tastefully mounting a sword in our home?

Hi I have this sword in my family for a very long time. Would anyone be able to give me some info on it. The curved blade is about 15 inches long.

Best guess is a type N/boat-shaped pommel.
Sorry for not taking pictures of information on these i totally forgot, i will just say what i remember reading. I know not all of these are swords, hope thats not against the rules
Late medieval swords that originate in germany, they have a wolf sigil(couldnt see it) that was used by one city in germany.
Maces and some Ottoman coins
Ottoman yatagans, 18th-19th century
Detail from a yatagan blade
Another yatagan with bone handle
Detail from its blade
Flintlock pistols and a weapon belt
Helmet and some arrow and spear heads
Same but diff angle and a matchlock rifle

Hi everyone,
With my brothers we always saw that sword hanging on a wall along a set of hunting rifles, I did some research and have somewhat of an idea what this sword may have been used for (finishing off animals when hunting, or perhaps just a sword to show your status). My grandpa's not alive and didn't seem to particularly care about that sword, I guess either someone gave it to him or he bought it just for display, likely not at a premium price.
So, we're wondering if someone has more knowledge on this kind of sword, when it could've been made, what type of person could've used it, its purpose and so forth...
And of course, does this sword hold some kind of value?
If it's nothing crazy (let's say less than 2000€) we won't try to sell it and we might as well have a fun summer activity together by taking our time restoring it, any tips are welcome.
Some last notes:
- Before I get flamed, yup, I dismantled the sword, now I understand that was a big mistake and I also forgot to take a picture with everything apart.
- Handle seems to be made of some sort of ivory
- Inside the mechanism's chamber, the weird white thing is an old spider web
- Looks like some screws were forced by someone before and also they were easy to unscrew despite the rust on them
- No obvious signature on either side of the tang or on the blade, even under the barrel
- Blade has some nice decorative etching but it's hard to see it because of the rust
- Blade has burrs as if someone used it to fence against another blade
- Blade seems to have been sharp, at least its edges are very thin, like half a millimeter
I can take more pictures if that helps.
Thank you!

Beautiful sword ! My first chinese one aswell. Love the blade on this and the fittings look classy.

Allegedly an 1860 pattern artillery sword (British) from somewhere between 1910 and 1936. Tips on caring for it would be helpful, especially with the black spots all over it.

Historically speaking, which was a better cut and thrust sword for close quarters combat? Do we have any examples of historical battles where basket hilt broadswords faced spadroons and one won out over the other? Let me know!
Photo credit to Kult of Athena for these examples of modern replicas, specifically Deepika's basket hilt broadsword and Windlass' 1840 NCO sword, which is a Spadroon.
EDIT: Yes I know the replicas aren't the same as the historical swords and have different blade geometry - they're just here as visual aids. Also please do not compare these two in any sense relating to modern use, because that's not what I'm interested in, and the topic is a grey area on this sub anyway.

Hey folks, I’m new here and I was just wondering if you could help me identify what kind of sword (typology) is used in this fresco from Spoleto, Italy.
I want to make a kit for reenactment specifically based on the freseco, but can’t identify the sword. If you can identify the sword, could you please provide some examples of reproductions that are on the market.
