Rather then look through the scores of sprues etc, I thought I'd chance it here. Looking for some leaf bladed long swords. I know WGF has some short swords with a leaf blade in some of their kits, am looking for a longer version for 28mm miniatures. Thanks for any help |

Do you mean the type the Beja carried in the Sudan? |

I know, I can always shave down a regular sword….but I was hoping to save some work. |

Beja carried straight bladed swords! |

Crusader swords so they said. |

You are right gentlemen. I believe it was leaf bladed spears. |

Beja sword blades were made by Solingen of Germany and imported sans hilt. This was during the time of the Anglo-Sudanese Wars and one wonders when they started importing them. I did read an article on the Beja circa 1970s that said having a sword was still a sign of manhood. |
