Swords and Daggers Swords and Daggers Swords are weapons formed by a blade (the part intended for striking) and a hilt (from which the sword is held) [Fig. 1]. While there have been swords made of wood and stone, the more predominant and effective examples have been made of some sort of metal. Daggers share many characteristics with swords, but they have smaller proportions. In some cases it’s difficult to determine whether a particular weapon is a sword or a dagger. Knives are generally single-edged and tend to be more utilitarian in design. Blade The sword’s blade can be divided between the forte (third of the blade closer to the hilt) and the foible (third of the blade closer to the tip). This refers to how much strength the wielder can put into each area of the blade when used as a lever. The part of the blade that becomes narrow and goes into the grip is called the tang [Fig. 2]. The point of balance [Fig. 3] is the sword’s center of gravity, often found on the blade very close to the hilt, and influences the handling of the weapon. The center of percussion [Fig. 3] is the area of the blade that produces the least amount of vibration when striking a target, and thus is the ideal place with which to strike. The cross-section of the blade [Fig. 4] is the shape it has when cut at the guard. The fullers, incorrectly called blood grooves in modern times, were used to reduce the weight of the blade and give it structural strength. Blades taper in two ways. The distal taper [Fig. 5] is the reduction in blade thickness the closer it is to the point. The profile taper [Fig. 6] is how narrow the blade becomes the closer it is to the point. Blades had to be hard enough to keep an edge and rigid enough to pierce, but flexible enough to resist impacts. This was achieved by tempering the steel: heating it up in the forge and quenching it in water until it had the desired hardness. Some blades have an unsharpened portion near the guard called ricasso. Some knives and single-edged daggers have jimping on their blades. This is a series of notches filed on the spine, near the tang, to improve gripping. Some single-edged blades had a false edge on their foible, opposed to the primary edge. This could be dull or sharpened, to reinforce the point or simply to add another cutting surface. Some European straight double-edged blades from the Renaissance and later periods presented a consistently undulating blade. These were called flame-bladed swords. Allegedly this shape would transmit unpleasant vibrations to the opponent’s blade upon impact. The most common flame-bladed swords were rapiers and zweihanders. One-handed flame-bladed swords were called flamberges, while two-handed swords were called flambards or flammards. Hilt The sword's hilt is composed of a grip, a pommel and a guard (often called cross-guard or hand guard) [Fig. 1]. Daggers generally follow the same formula, but they often don't have guards. The tang of the blade goes through the guard and into the grip, and is then attached to the pommel. An exception to this is the hilts in the messer-type swords, which have a similar construction to a knife's handle [Fig. 2]. The tang is sandwiched between two slabs of wood or horn and the pommel is attached to it in a similar way. Hand guards became more elaborate as time went by. Some of the extra elements added to protect the hand were knuckle-guards/bows (curved bars extending from the quillons to the pommel to protect the fingers), finger-rings (rings to protect the finger when placed on the guard or to give it more control), side-rings (rings attached to the sides of the guard), nagels (short metal bars perpendicular to the quillons), bell-guards (round domes surrounding the hilt) and shell-guards (curved metallic plates covering the hand). Scabbard A sheath is a sleeve for safely keeping a bladed weapon or tool. A scabbard is a sheath designed for a sword or dagger. The place where the sword enters the scabbard is called the throat. Scabbards in early medieval Europe were made of wood covered with leather. Some scabbards had fur-lined throats, which were allegedly kept wet with oil to apply it to the blade upon sheathing. The end of the scabbard was sometimes protected by a metal tip called chape, and the throat was also often covered in soft metal. Flexible leather scabbards were much more common in the Renaissance than in the Middle Ages. In the early modern era scabbards began being covered with metal, often brass, and in some cases they were entirely metallic. The sound often associated with the drawing of a sword was caused when the blade made contact with this metal in the throat. This was much more common in modern scabbards than in medieval examples. European Swords and Daggers The following weapons will be categorized according to their place in the historical periods of medieval and modern Europe. Early Middle Ages (VIII to XIII century): Viking/Anglo-Saxon/Migration Period Sword: A sword with a long iron blade and a hilt formed of a tang, a hand guard and a pommel. The blade was usually broad and similar in length to the spatha. Most models were double-edged, but there were some single-edged examples. The quillons were generally small, often just an inch wider than the blade. Some late Viking and Anglo-Saxon swords had longer quillons similar to those of cruciform high-medieval swords. The blade itself was made of iron, pattern-welded to make up for the inferior materials and tended to have a very gradual profile tapering. The grip was made of wood and sometimes wrapped in leather. Because of the difficulty involved in forging them, these swords were owned only by the best and most notorious of Anglo-Saxon and Viking warriors. Spatha: A one-handed sword with a broad, double-edged blade. The hilt was generally made of wood and often had a grooved grip. The hand guard was straight and very short, usually no wider than the pommel. Its blade had from 25 to 33 inches (64 to 84 centimeters) of length. It was initially a Roman cavalry weapon, but during the fall of the Roman Empire it became the most common style of sword in the remaining Roman territories. Seax/Sax/Scramasax: A knife with a long, single-edged blade and a simple grip of wood or horn. The blade was sometimes wider at the tip, with a sharp forward angle, in a style called broken-back seax. The smaller models were used as tools, but the larger models were proper weapons. They were commonly carried by Anglo-Saxon and Viking warriors alike. Knives and Picks/Prickers: These were the most common tools carried by soldiers in the entire medieval period. The knives were cutting tools and/or eating implements of simple construction and varied size and shape, but they could be used as weapons in a pinch. The pick was a small thin spike used for detailed carving work, medical purposes or punching holes though fabric. From the high-medieval period onwards these tools were often kept in small pockets sewn into the scabbard of larger daggers or swords. Pocket/Folding Knife: These tools have been found in the Iberian Peninsula and central Europe since the time of the Roman Empire, even though they weren't as common as they became during the Renaissance. In later periods the designs became more complex, like the Spanish navaja and the English Barlow knife. They were used in similar way as fixed-blade knives, though they were usually not as fit to handle heavy-duty tasks. High Middle Ages (XII to XIV century): Arming Sword: A one-handed sword with a cruciform hilt and a straight, double-edged blade. The length of the blade was usually between 23 to 32 inches (58 to 82 centimeters) and it was usually forged from high-carbon steel. The hand guard was a pair of quillons perpendicular to the blade, though they were sometimes curved towards the tip. The grip was usually wrapped in leather. Early swords had fullers to reduce weight and gradual tapering, but later designs favored ridges, hollow-ground blades, acute tapering and awl-shaped tips. It was the sword of professional soldiers and knights, and it was often called knightly sword for that reason. Falchion: A one-handed sword with a similar construction to that of an arming sword. The blade, however, was single-edged and curved. Many falchions also had a heavier blade, wider at the foible similar to that of a cleaver. These swords were initially used by archers and poor soldiers. The blade was forged of iron and the edge was made of steel, to cut down on the production cost. After knights and nobility started adopting the weapon, however, falchion blades were forged entirely out of steel. In some later models the quillons below the edge extended downwards to the pommel to form a knuckle-guard. Quillon Dagger: A dagger with a similar construction to that of an arming sword. The cruciform hand guard is what gives it the name. Its blades were usually from 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 centimeters) long. They were used as backup weapons by knights and soldiers. Bollock/Ballock Dagger: A dagger with a cylindrical wooden hilt and a pair of spherical protrusions on the sides of the grip, which give the dagger its name.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

    ARMY ORGANISATION UNDER THE SULTANS OF DELHI {13th AND 14th CENTURY) THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DECREE OF Doctor of Philosophy IN HISTORY BY ALI ATHAR M. Phil. Under the Supervision of Prof. Khaliq Ahmad Nizamr CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY . ALIGARH (INDIA). 19 8 7 T3617 A B S T R A C T The Delhi Sultans had assimilated, accepted and rejected in its military organisation the Central Asian and Rajput traditions of warfare. These two diverse military organisations had deep impact on the Indian army during the 13th and 14th centuries. It was therefore deemed necessary to incorporate the 'Military Organisation of the Mongols'and the Rajput Traditions of warfare* in the Introduction of this work which enables a better understeisding of the Army Organi- sation of the Delhi Sultans, The MongolJ adopted the Central Asian traditions of warfare which gave emphasis on cavalry and the mobility of troopsib They were a well knit kmilitary force, dlsaijilined and ferocious* All these combined to give them enough success in their military eXi>editions, The Turks established themselves as rulers in India after overcoming their Rajput adversaries whose resistance lasted till mid of 13th century. The incorporation of the Rajputs in the array resulted in the assimilation of Indian modes of warfare of employing elephants and the increase in the number of the infantry corps which was constituted mostly of Indian soldiers. A critical analysis of the Rajput tradition - ii - of warfare has been dealt with in later part of the Introduction. After tho establishment of the Delhi Sultans a seperate unit of administration called the Diwan-i-i^ took over the charge of organising the whole army.

    Stephen Lushington Stephen Lushington Governor of Madras and Canterbury MP Stephen Rumbold Lushington (1776-1868) was both a local Member of Parliament and a Governor of Madras, occasionally at the same time. Through his time in India he amassed an important collection of South Indian arms and armour, as well as a large number of animal and bird skins. Biography Early years Born at Bottisham, Cambridgeshire, Lushington was educated at Rugby School and the Linton Academy. He worked in Madras, India, from 1791- 1803, first for the East India Company then the government. His speciality was Persian translation. During 1795- 99 he was private secretary to Major- General George Harris, commander of the Madras army, and in 1797 married Harris’s eldest daughter, Anne. Harris led an attack on the forces of Tipu Sultan, ruler of Mysore, in 1799, at which Seringapatam was captured and Tipu killed.

  • Iron, Steel and Swords Script - Page 1
    Sword Types Giving a short list of sword types seems to be easy. Well - it isn't. For one thing, it will never end because every culture / civilization or language group had and has plenty of sword types and words for them, most of them unknown outside that culture / civilization or language group, thank God. But some of these words made it to other groups already in the past, and more and more outlandish denominations make it into English or German right now. Unfortunately, the precise meaning, if it was known at all, may get lost in the process. Contrariwise, one and the same word might have different meanings here or there or then and now. Not to mention that there is no 1 : 1 correlation between translations from language to language. The English "broadsword" translates properly to a German "Korbschwert" (=basket sword). The direct translation would be "Breitschwert". This term does exist in German - but it denotes something quite different from a "broadsword". Only one thing seems to be certain: any short definition of some term, no matter which one, will bring in protests from some camp of believers out there. So let me state on the outset: whatever I write further down, my heart isn't in it. Correct me if you like. I'll go along with you - until the next correction comes in. Basics My own interest is not so much about the name associated with a particular type of sword but about its metallography. Since correlating sword types to metallography is mostly not a sensible thing to do, my next question is why some particular kind of sword existed at all? The user had always access to or at least some knowledge of some other types.
