A Claymore with Battle Damage and Other Arms & Armor at the ROM

My trip to the Royal Ontario Museum was great, definitely recommended (NOT sponsored by the way):
https://www.rom.on.ca/en

Part 1 (indigenous arms & armor):    • Coconut Armor, War Clubs, Sharktooth ...  

This is part 2 of the museum walk, where I show you bronze swords, spear heads, and a helmet from antiquity, as well as medieval & renaissance arms and armor. Including a fascinating example of very obvious edge damage from blade-on-blade contact.

Other highlights are surprisingly small bronze spearheads, an Egyptian khopesh with well preseved handle, a pollaxe, longswords, and some beautiful basket-hilts.
