>the sword of Brahman Moor

you mean a completely made-up sword named after events from the early 15th C, but which bears absolutely nothing but a slight resemblance to real swords of that date, made in a shitty 3rd rate indian mass production factory?

Well, you have no taste, I see.

that's a bit like buying "the gun of Jesse James" a branded revolver made by Taurus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bramham_Moor

yes. Those are the events from the early 15th century.

but there is absolutely no sword associated with the battle.

That is the bit that's entirely made up.

to explain a little further.

there are a lot of "swords of X".
the castillon hoard, for instance, is 80 or so swords found in a ford just downriver of the site of the battle of Castillon Sur-dordogne, in 1453.
the Morgarten Sword, owned by Oakeshott, was from a church in Austria, which contained the remains of two knights killed in the battle of that name.
the sword of Visconti, found in his tomb.
and so on. hundreds of them.

Even the ones that are hundreds of years before or after a person's lifetime, like the William Wallace Sword (a style about 250 years after his death) or the sword of Grute Piers (about 100 years before he was born) are at least associated with these people for a long time.

this "brahman moor" sword has no such association. Its simply an incredibly generic sword of that sort of date, cheaply made, with a story tacked on about the battle. If they swapped the scabbard and hilt for red leather, and cast it with a dragon on the pommel and painted it red instead of the cross, you could just as easily call it the "Sword of Bryn Glas" commemorating the welsh victory against the English about 8 years earlier than Brahman Moor. The problem is the sword design has nothing to do with the Percy Rebellion, they've just tacked it on, like, as said, taurus calling a gun they made "the gun of jesse james".

>reading comprehension.

He means we haven't recovered any significant artifact from that battle that is somehow unique or representative of the time and location to a degree that warrants the name.

You mong.

>>34789243
that sword is just a replica of the sword in battle

NOT THE ACTUAL SWORD

>>34789386
Precisely.

Except we haven't recovered one to copy it from.

Hence why a Chinese pig iron copy of a generic sword from the period has no claim whatsoever to the name. The manufacturer just picked a battle and a side and wen with it.
Just like
>>34789213
said.

You mong.

>NOT THE ACTUAL SWORD

there is no "actual" sword.

there is no such thing. Not in a private collection, not in the Royal Armouries, not in Durham cathedral. not In York Castle Museum, not in anywhere.

no sword from the 15th century associated with that battle exists.

(and especially no sword with that shitty pommel, badly cast cross, and tin-plate scabbard furniture.)

UUUU

>>34790064
how historically accurate is that?

>>34792322
fairly typical for dave dellawhateverthefuckhisnameis.

cross and pommel are very accurate to the real one. blade is accurate apart from the inlay/etching. Grip and scabbard covered in twiddly shit is 99.9% pulled out of his ass.

I'm quite fond of my cutlass. I made it myself. I'll finish the scabbard one of these days.
