Greetings ,
Does anyone know if it's feasable for a finely made steel sword blade from, say, the middle ages to have been melted down and re-used to create a new blade?
What I'm looking for is to establish a direct connection between the primary "family blades" of an English family down through generations of military service, through changing types of service blade (medieval arming sword - 16th/17th century backsword - 18th/19th century cavalry saber).
Thanks ,
