That's all I need, another thing to distract me from making the swords people have ordered already.

I do find it interesting though.
I wish I could be of more assistance. The pictures I have (& showed) are from my "picture collection" These have been collected over a span of years (Museum pics, Private collection pics, Auction Pics, & sites like "My Armory.com")

As to "getting your hands on an "original" lots of luck (of course it would be a GREAT reason to head to Europe for a Museum & privite collection "HUNT"

You could also head to a couple of the "Better" Sword shows.(to see "reproductions) Below are pictures from "VINCE EVANS" collection. I had the privilege of seeing this sword ( or one like it) a number of years ago.





Try to contact Vince Evans or as I advised before, hit the "My Armory" site
