Cromwell's Sword with Tod's Workshop

A few weeks ago our friends from ‪@tods_workshop‬ came in to measure one of Cromwell's swords in our collection with a view to making reproductions of it.

They did an excellent video of the process which you can see at: Reproducing Cromwells sword, but have very kindly gven us an extended cut version, where you can see more of the process of measuring the sword, and more of Tod and our Curator Stuart's chat about the weapon, craftsmanship, Cromwell, the Civil Wars... and weapons for the Zombie Apocalypse!
