Mervyn Mitton Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Ibrahim - I must say I greatly enjoyed studying these superb examples. The heavily blued and gilded workmanship on the blades has long been a German speciality. I also liked the daggers and WW2 swords set out so well. You must have had a very pleasant trip. Thankyou for putting these photos on - we don't see nearly enough from different museums. Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
