I need assistance identifying this sword. I will do my best to describe it to you.
The sword is one that we have owned for wuite some time, but had been in storage in the attic. I recently brought it out and have looked it over but cant quite identify the actual origin and type.
The sword has a slightly curved blade and is of Bastard length. The blade itself is very wide, and quite heavy. The grip is suited to a single hand, but can be used with two. The pommel is flarred wide and preventss the hand from slipping off the heavy sword.
The quillion is not as large as most, and sweeps foward on both sides. Most distinguishing feature is the curvature of the blade, it almost resembles a middle eastern weapon, but has a spanish look and feel to it.
I know this is hard to do by mere words, but can someone point me in the right direction as to the type and origin of this sword.
My initial guess is Spanish, with some sort of middle eastern influence.
