Post Your Edged Weapons Any Type Any Era

[JPhilip]

Hello,
That's a nice thread....here are some of my blades. Pardon me for not posting all those that are on display on the mannequins, it would have been too much work for tonight.

Left : two Mercator knives, the german soldier's best friend and "Le vengeur de 1870"
Middle : some of my S84/98 bayos (from 1937 to 1944) with various frogs (2nd bayo from left on lower row is WWI with pre-WWII frog, didn't find yet the frog i want...
Right : Kampfmesser, prewar czech bayo reissued to the german army and S98/05 with flashguard and steel scabbard shaped to resemble the leather example.
My favourites : 1944 dated S84/98 with shrapnel impact on the scabbard (3rd from left top row) and the S98/05 in almost mint condition with "Verdun" engraved on the steel scabbard (french soldier's war trophy) and the Mercator of course
Thanks

JPhilip, very nice collection. I particularly like the boot knives! Something I need to add in the near future. Thanks for posting

My favourite edged weapon is the Sabre Briquet, standart Infantry sword of the Napoleonic Area french Army.
Named Briquet (Briquet is french for Lighter) as it had a very short blade and looked a bit like the lighters they where using at that time, the name was made official in 1811.

This Specific example was manufactured in Klingenthal in 1814 during the first restauration of the monarchy, it may have very well served under Napoleon Bonaparte during the 100 day reign that followed after.



What i absolutely love about these Swords is their completly bronze grip.

Sweet Display Greg. I need one of the knuckle knives for my collection!

Thanks Al.
I live in a very small house so my knife display is on my bedroom wall.
My wife told me that the very first time she came into my bedroom, she was
a little freaked out. She thought I might be a crazed psyco of some sort.
She married me anyway.
