Chapter 1634: It comes from the battlefield
After about four or five minutes, everyone's excitement calmed down a bit, and the scene became a bit quieter, not so noisy.
Frecis is the same. He has recovered from the crit just now, and his pale face has a little blood.
After he came back to his senses, he reluctantly looked at the Scottish buckler of the beautiful Prince Charlie, then raised his head to look at Ye Tian, and said with a wry smile:
"Steven, you guys are so crazy. The Scottish buckler bought for six thousand five hundred euros turned into a national treasure worth 15 million euros in a blink of an eye. The money is not so fast! "
"Hahaha, Fresis, you are an antique dealer. You should know how to pick up leaks. To eat in this business, you can rely on your eyesight and a little luck!
Fortunately, my eyesight is okay. I rarely miss my eyes. I have always had good luck. I have found many treasures and antique artworks that have been neglected or seriously underestimated."
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, not at all polite.
"Your luck is extremely good, and the rumors are right. God will always stand with you and always care for you, and you will never see us, even if we are very religious!"
Fresis said grimly, his eyes filled with endless envy, but his tone was extremely sad.
It was more than him. Everyone on the scene looked at Ye Tian and the Scottish buckler of the beautiful Prince Charlie with envy, wishing to take it as their own.
Some of these guys are even more jealous, their eyes are red, and they are about to rush out!
Of course, there is no shortage of surrogate guys here, with greedy rays flashing in his eyes.
After chatting, Friesis couldn’t wait to say:
"Steven, you have completed the identification of the Scottish buckler of the beautiful prince Charlie, and you have given an accurate estimate. All of this hurts my heart. I wish I could go back in time!
Is it time for you to fulfill another promise now? Help me identify other items here, so that I can get a little comfort, otherwise I really don't know how to spend today! "
The voice fell, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded and said:
"Well, Fresis, since I have nodded and agreed, I will not break my promise. I will help you identify the other goods on the stall immediately. Wait for the surprise!
There is something that must be explained in advance. I will only help you identify the three most valuable goods, not every one. I will not announce the authenticity and value of the remaining goods! "
"No problem, Steven, you can help me identify three items, I am very satisfied, where can I dare to ask for too much"
Frecis nodded excitedly in response, and the happy old face almost burst into laughter.
Next, Ye Tian put aside the Scottish buckler in his hand, then walked to the Friesis booth, and began to check the cold weapons one by one.
Frecis, who was standing on the side, kept his eyes fixed on his every move, he didn't want to look away for a moment, his eyes were full of expectation, extremely hot, and even a little hot.
The scene was quiet. Everyone looked at Ye Tian and the cold weapons placed on the Friesis booth. Everyone was full of curiosity and expectation!
Within a few moments, Ye Tian suddenly picked up an old knight sword from the stall, held it in one hand and waved it lightly, then turned to look at Friesis.
"Tell me about this knight sword, Fresis, how did you identify this knight sword? Where did this sword come from and how did you get it?"
Fresis looked at the knight sword, and then spoke his own judgment.
"I collected this knight sword at a market in Provence. As we all know, Provence is a ‘City of Knights’, and there are many such cold weapons in the antique market there.
It can be seen that the maintenance of this knight sword is not very good. There are a lot of rust marks on it. The original handguard on the hilt has long been decayed and fallen off. The current handguard was installed by me later.
Judging from the shape, I think this is a medieval knight sword. Although the sword is engraved with two capitals ‘W’, it is impossible to tell which knight’s weapon in ancient times is.
There are so many things I can see. It seems that this knight sword must have a lot of background, Steven, tell me your appraisal conclusion, how do you think about this knight sword? "
While saying these words, Fresis's eyes were fixed on the knight sword in Ye Tian's hand, his eyes were extremely hot, like looking at his first love!
Ye Tian looked at the knight sword in his hand again and waved it slightly before smiling and saying:
"First of all, it is certain that this is indeed an antique weapon, not a modern handicraft, and it is an antique weapon with a lot of background. There is a **** story hidden behind it.
Secondly, I need to correct it. The capital letters engraved on the base of the sword and above the cross guard are not two capital'W', but two capital'V' and one capital'W'.
Because of its age and poor maintenance, this knight sword has a lot of rust on it, coupled with the engraving process, making these letters look like two uppercase ‘W’.
Let's talk about the shape of this knight sword again. This knight sword is a one-handed sword developed from the Viking sword. It took both immediate and walking combat into account and was widely popular in the Middle Ages.
Compared with other medieval knight swords, this knight sword retains more of the characteristics of the Viking sword, and the blade is longer, the position of the middle sword spine is thicker, and the natural weight is heavier.
More importantly, the forging craftsmanship of this knight sword, the decorative patterns on the blade and hilt, and the engraving technique of the text all have a very obvious Baltic style.
It can be said with certainty that this is a knight sword from the Baltic Sea region. It can be seen that the knight who used this knight sword should come from the Baltic Sea coast.
Let’s take a look at the cross carved at the end of the hilt. In the Middle Ages, almost every knight’s weapon was carved with a cross, but this cross has a special meaning.”
, Ye Tian turned the knight sword in his hand upside down, displayed the cross at the end of the hilt in front of Fresis, and then showed it to many onlookers.
Fresica looked at the little cross, and then asked curiously:
"Steven, what's so special about this cross? I have seen engraved crosses on other medieval knight swords, but the position is different!"
Not only Fresis, but also many onlookers at the scene were at a loss.
Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then said loudly:
"If I hang up this knight sword with the hilt facing up and the tip of the sword facing the ground, everyone will combine the cross and this knight sword to observe, and I don't know what I can think of."
After speaking, Ye Tian held the knight sword in one hand and assumed the shape he said.
Looking at the knight sword with the tip of the sword pointed at the ground, many people are still at a loss, don't know what it means!
There were only a handful of people, their eyes lit up suddenly, and they nodded lightly thoughtfully, as if they understood something, but were not sure!
A moment later, a less confident voice came from the crowd of onlookers.
"Steven, combine the cross and this knight sword to observe. It looks like the emblem of the Knights of Swords. Is this a knight sword of the Knights of Swords?"
"Bingo! This sir, you guessed it very correctly, this is a knight sword of the Knights of Swords, and it has a great background!"
Ye Tian raised his finger to the source of the sound, and exaggeratedly said loudly.
"What? I heard that right? This is actually a knight sword of the Knights of Swords, it must be very valuable!"
"Please, who can explain, what organization is the Sword Knights? I have only heard of the three major knights, and there is no Sword Knights in it!"
There was a sound of discussion at the scene, some people were suddenly confused and some were still confused, and the scene instantly became very lively.
At this moment, Fresis was completely stupid, and he was stunned in place, his eyes filled with ecstasy, and he seemed to be a little bit unable to believe what he heard.
Before he recovered, Ye Tianqinglang's voice came out again, and it was in the ears of everyone on the scene.
"The Knights of the Sword was established in 1202, also known as the Knights of the Livonian Brothers of Swords, and the Brotherhood of the Swords. It is a knights in the Baltic region.
In the second half of the twelfth century, the Crusader knights arrived on the Baltic Sea coast and brought swords to try to conquer this new land. At the same time, Germans and Catholic missionaries arrived on the Baltic Sea coast.
In 1202, Bishop Alibelt of Riga organized the knights along the Baltic Sea to form the Knights of Sword, modeled on several famous knights established in Jerusalem.
In history, as an independent military organization, the Knights of Swords existed for a short time. In the Battle of Sule in 1236, the Knights of Swords suffered heavy losses and almost the entire army was destroyed!
In this battle, the Lithuanians and Samogitians killed most of the Knights. The members of the Knights of Sword who were lucky enough to survive were merged into the famous Teutonic Knights the following year.
The Knights of the Sword was renamed the Knights of Livonia and became an independent branch of the Teutonic Knights in the Baltic Sea. It disappeared with the demise of the Russian Empire until the beginning of the 20th century.
If you know about the Knights of the Sword, then you know that the shield-shaped emblem of the Knights of the Sword is composed of a cross and a knight sword. The cross is on the top and the sword is on the bottom."
Hearing this, the many onlookers at the scene realized that Ye Tian just asked everyone to observe the purpose of the knight sword and the cross on the hilt!
Look again at this time, the combination of the cross and the knight sword is not the symbol of the sword knights!
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:
" After being merged into the Teutonic Knights and renamed the Livonia Knights, the original Sword Knights ceased to exist, and their unique shield-shaped emblems could no longer be used.
Because of its very short existence, only thirty-five years ago, there are very few items left in the world by the Knights of Swords, and every piece is a valuable antique relic, including this knight sword.
Let’s take a look at this knight sword again. The shape also has some of the characteristics of the Viking sword, casting process, decorative patterns, and engraved characters, etc. ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ all have obvious Baltic style,
In the Middle Ages, only knights on the Baltic Sea coast used this sword. With the cross on the hilt, the answer is ready to come out. This is a knight sword of the Knights of Sword!
More importantly, are the capital letters at the base of the sword, two V and one W. They are the initials of Volkwin von Winterstein, the second commander of the Knights of the Sword.
Before the destruction of the Sword Knights, there were only two chiefs, Walkerwin von Winterstein's term of office was 1208-1236, until he died on the battlefield and died in the Battle of Sule.
This knight sword in my hand is exactly Walkwin’s saber. I don’t know how it has been passed down to this day, but I have to say that it’s a miracle to see this knight sword today!
These few gaps in the blade indicate that it came from the battlefield. God knows how many people have died under this sword. When Walkwin died on the battlefield, perhaps this knight sword was in his hand!
This is my identification of this knight sword. Let me talk about the value of this knight sword. Because it is extremely special and rare, I value this knight sword at 6 million euros, which is only low! "
The voice fell, and the pan was immediately fried.
Everyone was completely shocked by the appraisal conclusion given by Ye Tian and the six million euro valuation, and they all exclaimed.
Looking at Fresis again, this guy held his head with both hands and looked at the knight sword in amazement, already in a state of madness!
