This ‘’Munitions Grade” item is not up to our normal high standards. Munitions grade items will typically have various bends or twists in the blades, basically rendering them as 2nds quality. These items are still a great choice for collecting and re-enacting and functional pieces will still be functional. Please keep this in mind when ordering.
n some of the Renaissance Italian city states it was typical to take fashion inspiration from their trade contacts in the near east - thus one can see the Arabesque columns and arches popular in Venice. This falchion looks like the blade of a nobleman or wealthy citizen of Venice or Genoa who was following this trend in fashion as this European falchion has some Arabesque flair.
The curved, scimitar-like blade is crafted from CSN14260 High Carbon Steel; the guard and pommel are fashioned from steel and the wood grip is wrapped in leather and inlaid with twisted steel wire. The blade tang of this robust sword is durably peened over the pommel and the hilt was further reinforced by welding the guard and pommel with the tang.
