The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

phone-reading

There are more than ten Islan style swords in the box. Most of them should be the spoils of wars between European countries and Ottoman Turkey. Of course, good goods obtained from other channels are not excluded.

It seems that they are all traditional long knives of the Turkish Ottoman Empire-for example, the one taken out by Guan Xingquan is the biggest "Kiliknife" among the traditional Turkish long knives.

This kind of long knife with outstanding armor piercing ability is very common in the Ottoman Empire. Its shape is very distinctive. The blade becomes wider as the tip of the blade becomes wider. The shape of the blade suddenly widens at the front one-third of the blade, and then the front end becomes a double-edged blade. It is the tip of the sword coming out of the front of the knife.

It is about one meter long, has a small curvature, and the blade has a thickness of eight or nine millimeters and a weight of more than 2 kilograms. Zhang Nan took two swords in his hand and made gestures. It felt that the head of the blade was a little heavier. It is estimated that it would have the effect of a tomahawk hacking people with a single stab. It is estimated that these amazing protective knight armors in the carriage can't completely block it. .

Moreover, the arc of the blade is not large, and the hardness, toughness, and sharpness of the tip of the blade are all first-class. It was able to pierce and attack directly at the beginning. The 1.5 to 5 mm thick knight armor is stronger than the leather armor in front of it.

However, the weight of this knife is a bit heavier for Zhang Nan, lack of training, the arm strength is slightly insufficient. But Boss Guan thought it was easy: I didn't say anything, regardless of the silver inlaid text on the back of the knife, even if it was once a Sabre of Sudan, it belongs to Guan Xingquan.

Xiang Weirong also likes long knives. This year he is in his 40s. The writing of Long Dao reminds him of the days when he was a militiaman when he was a militiaman when he was seventeen or eighteen when he was patrolling the commune with a cavalry knife and a seven-nine rifle on his back. Feel younger.

He took a fancy to a "para long knife", which is also a common knife in the Ottoman Empire. It is slightly shorter and lighter than the Kili knife. The knife has a blood groove and widens near the tip of the knife. There is a reverse blade on the back of the knife. The guard is cross-shaped. The handle of the knife is bent down to prevent it from being released during chopping.

The Pala knife can't deal with opponents wearing heavy armor, but in the era of cold weapons, it is an absolute nightmare for light armored and unarmored enemies!

Unusual sharpness, strange attacks, and cutting everyone in half with a single knife often happen.

The brother-in-law likes knives, so he can pick them as he pleases. With a face, even the sabers from the mountain are sent casually. These Ottoman noble sabers are the same. Brother-in-law likes them.

Zhang Nan also picked one and planned to take it out first. Compared with Guan Xingquan and Xiang Weirong, this knife was shorter. This is the Yatkan knife: this single-edged knife is very special because of the general type. The blade of the scimitar is facing outwards, while the blade of Atkan is facing inward, and it bends in the direction of the blade. When cutting, the center of gravity is forward, and the cutting force is extremely large.

The Nepalese dog legs are also similar in design, but in terms of shape, steel type and decoration...

Not to mention, it is unfair to doglegs. Anyway, Zhang Nan will never collect a Nepalese dogleg. That thing will be the life of a hatchet.

The Yatkan knife is very convenient to carry, just put it in the scabbard and insert it horizontally around the waist: this kind of knife has no hand guard. Not only can the entire body of the knife be inserted into the scabbard, but also part of the handle can be inserted. Inside the scabbard, only part of the handle is left outside, making it easy to carry.

Zhang Nan also measured it with a tape measure. This knife is considered to be relatively long among the Atcan knives. It has a total length of 78 cm, a blade length of 62 cm, a blade of 3.7 cm at its widest point, a thickness of 8.5 mm, and a sheath of about 1 kg. Heavy.

The handle of the knife feels smooth in the hand, very smooth, and there is a little desire to cut something-this knife can slightly affect people's feelings, absolutely good knife!

The blade is slightly oxidized and has a very small amount of thin rust spots. The natural coating is perfect and natural. The texture of the blade is like a ribbon. In the middle of the blade, there is a *** style pattern inlaid with gold wire in the middle of the blade.

The end of the blade, the guard and the sides of the handle are wrapped in thin, high-relief decorative gold sheets with flower patterns. The handle looks like some animal horns, and the dots are inlaid with flower vine patterns in gold. As for the scabbard, there is no tacky inlaid gemstones, but gold pieces are also wrapped around the head and tail with high-relief craftsmanship.

At least 300 years of history, it is rare to be so well preserved.

Don't look at it as being short, it's easy to chop people's heads!

The money value of the things in this carriage is not as valuable as a car of gold, but Zhang Nan is even more happy than getting a car of gold, "Ha, my castle finally has some armor and cold weapons decorations!"

Several other people laughed, knowing that Zhang Nan has made people get a lot of top European antique furniture and furnishings in the past year, and those are needed in the castle in the future: you have seen a lot of European castles, if there are in those old castles There are few matching knight armors as furnishings, so you are embarrassed to show your friends around!

What I want is this fan.

This is the same as the Belle Mansion in Beijing: if there are few Qing Dynasty red sandalwood furniture, Jingdezhen official kilns, and objects flowing out of the palace to support the facade~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You are so embarrassed to say that you live in Belle Mansion. ?

If it is matched, there will be a faint smell...

This is not a question of money. The Baylor House can only use Chinese goods, and it is just a matter of using Western antique furniture; how many sets of Ming Dynasty huanghuali come from the Western castle?

The style is wrong!

This is almost full of armor and cold weapons in a carriage, and there are several very large oil paintings on the walls of the carriage. Draw out a horizontal painting that is nearly 3 meters in length and more than one meter high—a painting in the middle of a pile of sword armor. According to the security method in the carriage, these paintings are more important than the knight armor of the kings.

Unpack the kraft paper to see what the picture is.

Anyway, the size of this picture frame is too big, you have to take it apart if you want to transport it out of the tunnel, it doesn’t matter if you take it apart first.

As a result, the people in the carriage felt a little bit enthusiastic after taking it apart!

war!

This is an oil painting showing the fierce attack and defense of the fortress. Judging from Zhang Nan's half-hearted level, the artist's painting skills are extremely high, because a tragic smell comes from the canvas!

The cross and Xingyue are in a desperate contest, and it is obvious that Xingyue has the upper hand.

Zhang Nan watched for a while and said, "The fall of Constantinople."

In May 1453, the Byzantine capital Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turk Empire, the Byzantine East Roman Millennium Empire ended, the emerging power of Islan rises, and it was once regarded as one of the signs of the end of the Middle Ages.

In the 7-week battle against the fortress, both sides, regardless of ethnicity and belief, both showed amazing heroic integrity and tenacity, which was heart-stirring and moving.

War is always cruel, and after the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire, it was the turn of the Holy Roman Empire to compete with the Turks. It is normal to have such a painting in a museum in Graz.
