How two "identical" swords can be very different (and the importance of direct handling experience)

L'importanza dei dettagli! Ottimo video.

This is such a wonderful comparison! I love side by sides, and to get two swords that are so close yet clearly so unique is such a fun opportunity. Great job showcasing how subtle differences in “appearance” can make a big difference in experience. Keep it up

Nice video! There are sword types that I just don't see as being forged. One, because the cost of doing a decent forgery is greater than the cost of an original due to the complexity of the sword. And two, because who cares, the 12 people that have this hobby? I'm exaggerating, but collecting these types of antiques is not lucrative enough to attract forgers. What people do need to keep an eye out for is repairs and composite models that are sold off as atypical originals in the period.
