Doesn´t matter. It was a site that sells these items. It´s just called the ´ebay rule´

If it lands you at the site where original stuff is sold (but not if it comes from a collection) then yes. In your case you linked to another site where the direct links were displayed.
But anyway, thanks for the tip-off - beautiful pictures!!

Hello Vallus!
Welcome to thew forum.
Could you please help me with references to Hungarian articles? I'm studying Late Roman weapons such as plumbatae, many of which were found in Hungary.
One more thing - could you please add your real name to your signature? I'm afraid it's a rule on this forum.

Hello.
I think sword in the pictures, not Hunnish sword. Hunnish just cavalry soldiers. This sword too short, and Hungaryan and Hunnish sword have another identifying characteristic. The hilt of sword. Not Straight. Smaller Physical effort, blows by sword.

Hi Vallus Stev, (Could you please enter your real name into your signature? Forum rule.)
So what could it be if not Hun? Gothic or Pontic, perhaps?
