My 5 Favourite Antique Swords (In my Collection)

[@IPostSwords]

For anyone who wants to see more on sword #1, I recently made a HD schematic with distal taper, profile taper, and every other measurement imaginable. i.imgur.com/JMtZlPX.jpg

[@wcsdiaries]

Where can I get a modern reproduction of sword #1? Do they sell them in Iran?

[@IPostSwords]

You best bet for a really accurate reproduction in crucible steel is someone like Peter Swarz Burt, who's sold bare shamshir blades in crucible steel around 1000USD before - or someone like Kilic Osman Baskurt, who specialises in turkish sword but has done classic shamshir before.

I was expecting an Ottoman Sword and am happy to see two in your top 5. Btw, very good and instructive vids, congrats on that! The Yataghan is also one of my fav swords, However, it was not common in regular infantry such as Jannissary since it was relatively heavier. Additionally, if I'm not wrong it does not possess many defense oppurtunities due to its straight shape. Therefore, it was forged for high officers and some elites. However, your comment about being used by sailors is very accurate. Yataghan was vastly used by Ottoman sailors (Levent). And a fun fact; at the end of a duel, the winner might prefer bringing the last blow with the back (thick side) of the Yataghan which could be a gesture of forgiveness or just a way to humiliate your opponent. The curved Shimsir on the other is designed for cavalries. When the military horseman goes into close combat drawing their sword meant a direct attack due to the curve of their blades. This in return, had provided strategic superiority to Ottoman and alike horsemen.

[@PreacherwithoutaPulpit]

My God man, you have a stunning collection with just the 5 swords shown here. I found your channel due to your recent colab with Shad that I watched on 5/22/21. I think I will stay awhile due to your knowledge and obvious love for this topic. It's refreshing to see someone who's highly intelligent and who's dedicated some of that intellect to these truly beautiful weapons. As you see them as far more than simply swords or weapons. They are art and a stunning piece of history in more ways than one. Thank you and I look forward to watching your content...

[@IPostSwords]

They're definitely more than just weapons. Antiques of all forms are preserved history, and can inform us not just on material history but also fashion and tastes for respective eras and regions. Any attempt to reduce swords to mere weapons is ignoring the vast pressure fashion, taste, material science, and relative wealth levels and availability had at any given period and place, and ignoring that means a very underdeveloped understanding of the topic. I'm glad you like the collection - it is my pride and job, and I hope it only grows better in the future.

Hallo, very nice video and nice swords too! I have to ask you about that very strange smallsword though: How do you tell that the blade is contemporary to the hilt? I just wouldn't know what to look for. And also, have you considered that the blade is possibly broken? It looks short and not really pointy... I really would like your opinion on those topics!

[@IPostSwords]

So the reason I don't think the blade was shortened it because the fuller (on the reverse side) ends right before the tip, so it looks like a natural termination of the blade. The guard fits the patina on the blade, and doesnt fit the patina or the style of the grip and knucklebow. It's the basis of how I dated the blade, as the guard and pommel are the easiest to date.

[@iacopoiacoponi1983]

[@CitizenSmith50]

Do you think the colichemarde may possibly have been shortened at some time? The proportions just seem wrong somehow.

[@IPostSwords]

potentially, but I see no evidence of it in terms of abrupt changes in geometry typically seen in shortened swords. The fact the tip has proper geometry indicates this was its intended termination point

[@theeddorian]

That "vine leaf" engraving is more likely a "laurel leaf" engraving. That would be more consistent with both the leaf form, and with the military association.

[@nathancole6678]

Can you tell if the colichemarde might have been shortened from a more typical length at some point in its life?

[@IPostSwords]

It doesn't appear to have been shortened, the blade ends right after the fuller terminates on the rear side.

Where did you get that pala/kilij? I want to get a real one but dont know where to look Great video by the way. Thanks for sharing

Purchased at auction, like many of my swords. They're quite expensive, due to the high demand. There's a facebook group called "Arms and armour Eastern Europe and the Ottoman Empire" where sellers sometimes advertise, you may have some luck there, but you would be paying market price.

Just found out about it a few minutes ago when I watched shad's recent video. Already subscribed and currently watching a few of your videos :)

[@IPostSwords]

Stainless is generally unsuitable for a sword sized blade - apart from some uncommon, speciality alloys, most stainless steels are prone to breakage at longer blade lengths. As a general rule, relatively simple low alloy carbon steels are best for swords - 1060, 1080, 1095 and similar simple carbon steels are perfectly adequate in most cases, with some manufacturers prefering steel with some additives for toughness like 5160 or 6150 steel

Great vid but slight correction, Zeibeks weren’t Turkish militia. They were originally Thracian Greeks who for some reason migrated to the Aegean islands and the Anatolian Aegean coast. The Zeibeks who were on the Anatolian coast converted to Islam and acted as irregulars in the Ottoman army when necessary. Of course with the rise of nationalism in the late 19th and early 20th century many of the Anatolian Zeibeks were culturally assimilated into the Turkish ethnicity. And even to this day there is a dance called Zeibekiko in the Greek islands and the Western coast of Turkey.

The last one (shamshir) is a Turkish sword not Persian At that time, the Safavid Turks ruled the country we know today as Iran. Turks ruling in this geography for more than 1000 years, even more than half of Iran’s population are Turks

[@IPostSwords]

It is indeed safavid, but the sword is not the Turkish style. It does not have the bulbous integral pommel of Turkish shamshir style, instead having the distinct pommel cap of Iranian styles. Likewise the blade lacks the typical yelman seen on Turkish variants of the shamshir, and has a typically Iranian crossguard. There are distinct difference between swords made in Iranian lands and made in Turkish lands, even if both are overall shamshir style.

Oh please go spread your nonsense somewhere else little self turk believer Even in your so called turkich countries the turks are in minority and most of population are assimilated none turks More than 1000 year?WTF? The safavids had the turkish origin but they became Persian and they even took persian names for linking themselves to the ancient persians During the Safavids reign the most decorated and most accurated version of Shahnameh was written and Safavid shahs had a massive interest in Shahnameh depictions and stories and most of their palaces were filled with the paintings of shahnameh Even the ottomans didn't called themselves Turk they rather called themselves Rumi(means roman)instead and there is a letter from Shah Tahmasb of safavid dynasty to the ottoman Sultan that call him Rumi not turk Even the ottomans for their most prestigious ranks didn't recruited turks they relied on none turks instead and they had constant clashes with turkmen tribes and humiliated them and called them very bad things History aside the DNA results proves that more than 70% of the entire population of persia has Persian genome and there is not any great portion of central asian/mongolian sign in it.There is some for sure mostly in the north eastern provinces of iran like khorasan and Golestan but that's it no more Even in Azarbaijan the majority of hoplogroups are R1 that is a typical hoplogroup of caucasus people and shared between georgian and armenian and persians as well but not the turks

Doesn’t surprise me you’d pick Islam blades since your country is basically Muslim at this point

[@IPostSwords]

The muslim faith makes up about 2.6% of the total Australian population. So I would say... no
