Ibrahim Ahmad Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 My dear friends, I recently went to Germany on a personal trip but had some time to visit the famous Deutsches Klingenmuseum - German Blade Museum at Solingen. Here are some pictures that I took and would like to share with all of you. Engraved & marker marked blades Etched & blued blades

Ibrahim Ahmad Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to - Michael Everett , Frederick J. Stephens , Tom Johnson and James Brown (Damast) - for all the help and advise given. Thank you guys ;-) Cheers, Ibrahim.
Mervyn Mitton Posted March 24, 2010 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
