Hi so when my grandpa died he gave this sword to my dad, he said its a sword from a priest in the netherlands, the sword has a very calming energy and sometimes i just feel warmth from it like it belonged to a angel, just wanted to see what u think https://imgur.com/AOLOCzH 1lo

Oo that's a neat one : D
What is that yellow ribbon?
What's the design of the guard and the pommel there?
Is it inside the scabbard, or is the blade oxidized?
How long is it? And how heavy?

Aight, and please ask him how he maintains the sword as well, e.g. oiling & polishing etc : )victorvollaard wrote:im no sword expect so i dont know i will tell u when i can talk to my dad about it
Mmmh, can you try weighing the sword with weight scale to verify? E.g. with normal bodyweight scale, first you measure your own weight, and then lift the sword and measure the combine weight, lastly subtract the result : )victorvollaard wrote:the sword is aprox 1m 20 cm and i think it weight is about 15 kg or 20kg maybe more, im quite strong so dont notice the diffrence haha
Since generally sword weighs less than 2.0 kg. Long sword and bastard sword (length 100-130 cm) are usually 1.0-2.0 kg, even two-handed great sword (length 180 cm) weigh less than to around 4.5 kg, for ceremonial use, not combat. Combat-purposed ones would be around 3.5 kg or less. If that one is really over 15.0 kg, that'll be a very interesting specimen : )

That's almost identical to my sword, although no spirits are attached to this one and I don't really know its history. Sorry about the awful picture quality.

Maybe they're similar, because your ancestors served in the same army or the blacksmith forged weapons for multiple armies. Or it just was a common design of swords those days.
Wings were mostly seen as a symbol of angels (protection) or birds (like a pidgeon= peace; or eagle= strenght, freedom), so a wing design makes a good crossguard for faithful soliders.
Nice weapon, I wish I would descend from knights :p
