Very classy looking.
Agreed! I need a soda siphon for my home bar now....
what is the drinking glass?
is it possible to get some?
They're lovely, thanks!
Sorry for the delay had to look them up. They are Villeroy & Boch Octavia Crystal whisky tumblers.
Thanks, so it's modern made, meaning probably not wheelcut and hand made, shame I hoped to see them and art deco tumblers with wheel cut work!
I wanted to know the size of the knight sword blade, if someone knows.

Did you go with the ‘New York 1930s’ version? It looks great!
London 1930
If you have some suggestions on period glasses I would be very interested...
Not a specific answer, but arming swords are typically around 70cm - 90cm long.

Who owns that one, so it could be possible to know the exact blade measurment,size is described as "100x20x2,5cm"
Would make a 85cm blade, and seems to be 5cm wide on guard side, but hard to get sure about the tip width, and overal thickness.
btw my actual indiana display is made from idol, real conway 58 pen, and some genuine antiques.

Here are the informations about the original sword:
Joyeuse - Wikipedia
The Louvre owns it.
No, the Joyeuse is not the same, you can see the blade is far different, even I want to reproduce it closer to original joyeuse sword,but keeping the viking like blade from prop, instead of later european blade on joyeuse.
I made a drawing of a 85cm blade, I will try a full scale drawing of entire sword using the 100x 20x 2,5cm size reference, I think the final blade will be about 83-84cm.

I agree. I think the reason for this is that they have used for the film a not perfect replica of the Joyeuse. But if you want do make a replica of a replica it is IMHO always good to look at the original, too.
