My favorite sword-related websites
Non-commercial sites in English
There is this very site, of course !!
Sword Forum International
A great community forum with a huge amount of information, though little on Belgian swords, of course.
A private site specialised in pictures of smallswords, with some really beautiful models shown.
Non-commercial sites in French
passion militaria
A pretty active forum on militaria in general, with some very knowledgeable and helpful users
armes anciennes
Mostly the presentation of a collection, with quite a few of the mother-of-pearl smallswords I like
Non-commercial sites in other languages
Carl Beck collection
A very nice site in German presenting a single person's sword collection, using a technology way above was I was able to code.
Commercial sites in English
You will find a lot of information and buying opportunities at specialized auction houses
Is a gateway to some of those houses
Hermann Historica
Presents wonderful objects including decorations, militaria, guns and swords.
The site is in German or English, but some object descriptions are in German only.
I have bid in some auctions but have never been the best bidder so far.
A reputable German dealer with lots of stock.
Beautiful, sometimes exceptional, swords, beautiful pictures.
Wallis & Wallis
A vast choice of, mostly Commonwealth, swords
Or antique dealers
Has a bilingual site (French/English) and service is very professional. Like most French sites, it is very Empire-oriented, but not exclusively.
