Chapter 1634 It comes from the battlefield
After about four or five minutes, everyone's excitement calmed down a little, and the scene became a little quieter, not so noisy.
The same was true for Frasis. He had recovered from the critical hit just now, and his pale face also had a bit of blood.
After coming to his senses, he looked reluctantly at the beautiful prince Charlie's Scottish round shield, then raised his head to look at Ye Tian, and said with a wry smile:
"Steven, you guy is so crazy. The Scottish round shield bought for 6,500 euros has turned into a national treasure-level antique worth 1,500 euros in a blink of an eye. It's not so fast to grab money!"
"Hahaha, Frasis, you are an antique dealer and you should know what it is like to pick up a bargain. Making a living in this industry depends on your eyesight and some luck!
Fortunately, I have good eyesight and rarely misjudged. I have always had good luck. I have discovered many treasures and antique artworks that have been neglected or seriously underestimated.
Ye Tian said with a chuckling, not polite at all.
"Your luck is extremely good. The rumor is right. God will always stand with you, always favor you, and you will never see us, even if we are very pious!"
Frasis said angrily, his eyes filled with endless envy, but his tone was extremely sad.
Not only him, everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian enviously, looking at the beautiful Prince Charlie's Scottish round shield, wishing they could take it for themselves.
Some of them were even more jealous and their eyes were red, and they were almost bleeding!
Of course, there are also many guys with ulterior motives here, with greed flashing in their eyes.
After chatting for a while, Frasis couldn't wait to say:
"Steven, you have completed the identification of this Scottish round shield of the beautiful prince Charlie and given an accurate valuation. All of this made me feel heartbroken and wished I could go back in time!
Now should you fulfill another promise? Help identify other items here so that I can get some comfort, otherwise I really don’t know how to survive today!”
After the words came to an end, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded and said:
"Okay, Frasis, since I have nodded and agreed, I will not break my promise. I will help you identify other goods on the stall immediately. You are waiting to get a surprise!
There is something that must be explained in advance. I will only help you identify the three most valuable goods, not each one, and the authenticity and value of the other goods, I will not announce it!”
"No problem, Steven, I'm very satisfied if you can help me identify three items of goods. How dare you ask for too much?"
Frasis nodded excitedly and responded, his happy old face almost laughing.
Next, Ye Tian put the Scottish shield in his hand aside, then walked to Frasis's stall and began to check the cold weapons one by one.
Frasis, who was standing aside, stared at his every move with his eyes tightly, and his eyes were reluctant to move away for a moment. His eyes were full of expectations, extremely hot, and even a little hot.
The scene became quiet, and everyone looked at Ye Tian and the cold weapons placed on the Frasis stall. Everyone's eyes were full of curiosity and expectation!
In just a moment, Ye Tian suddenly picked up an old knight sword from the stall, held it with one hand and waved it gently, then turned around and looked at Frasis.
"Tell me about this knight sword, Frasis, how did you identify this knight sword? Where did this sword come from, and how did you get it?"
Frasis looked at the knight's sword and then expressed his judgment.
"I collected this knight's sword in 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.
It can be seen that the maintenance of this knight sword is not very good, with many traces of rust on it. The original guardrail on the hilt of the sword has long been decayed and dropped. Now the guardrail is installed by me later.
Judging from the shape, I think this is a knight sword from the medieval period. Although the sword is engraved with two capital letters of "w", it is impossible to tell which knight's weapon was this in ancient times.
There are only so many things I can see. Now it seems that this knight sword must have a great background. Steven, let me tell you the conclusion of the identification. What do you think of this knight sword?”
While saying this, Frasis stared at the knight sword in Ye Tian's hand, his eyes were extremely hot, just like looking at his first love!
Ye Tian looked at the knight sword in his hand again, waved it gently, and then said with a smile:
"First of all, it is indeed an antique weapon, not a modern handicraft, and it is an antique weapon of great origin, with a bloody story hidden behind it.
Secondly, we need to correct it. The capital letters engraved on the root of the sword body 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, the knight sword has a lot of rust, and the problem of the engraving process makes these letters look like two capitals ‘w’.
Let’s talk about the shape of this knight sword. This knight sword is a one-handed sword developed and evolved from the Viking sword. It also takes into account both the battle with walking and is widely popular in the Middle Ages.
Compared with other medieval knight swords, this knight sword retains more Viking sword features, and the sword body is longer, the middle sword ridge is thicker, and naturally heavier.
More importantly, the forging technology of this knight sword, as well as the patterns on the sword body and hilt, as well as the engraving techniques of the text, all have a very obvious Baltic style.
It is safe to say that this is a knight sword from the Baltic region. From this we can see that the knights who used this knight sword should have come from the Baltic coastal region.
Let’s take a look at the cross engraved at the end of the hilt of the sword. In the Middle Ages, almost every knight had a cross on his weapon, but this cross had a special meaning.”
As he said that, Ye Tian turned the knight sword in his hand upside down, displayed the cross at the tail of the sword hilt in front of Frasis, and then showed it to many onlookers on the scene.
Fresiska looked at the small cross and asked curiously:
"Steven, what's special about this cross? I've seen engraved crosses on other medieval knight swords, but the location is different!"
Not only Frasis, but many onlookers were also confused and confused.
Ye Tian glanced at everyone at the scene and said aloud:
"If I hang this knight sword with the hilt facing up and the tip of the sword facing the ground, everyone combines the cross with this knight sword to observe, and I don't know what I can think of."
As he said that, Ye Tian held the knight sword in one hand and put on the shape he said.
Looking at the knight sword with the tip of the sword head towards the ground, many people were still confused and didn't know what this meant!
There were only a few people, their eyes lit up suddenly, and they nodded thoughtfully, as if they understood something, but they were not sure!
A moment later, a voice that was not very confident came from the crowd.
"Steven, combine the cross with this knight's sword to observe, and it looks very much like the badge of the Knight's Sword. Is this a knight's sword of the Knight's Sword?"
"bingo! You guessed very correctly, this is a knight sword of the Knights of the Swords, and it has a great background!"
Ye Tian raised his hand and pointed to the source of the sound, and said loudly with an exaggerated expression.
"What? I heard it right? This is actually the knight sword of the Knights of the Sword Order, and that must be of great value!"
"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 lot of discussion at the scene, and some people suddenly realized, some people were still confused, and the scene instantly became very lively.
At this time, Frasis was completely stunned and stood there, his eyes full of ecstasy, and seemed to be a little unable to believe everything he heard.
Before he could come back to his senses, Ye Tian’s clear voice came out again, reaching everyone’s ears at the scene.
"The Knights of the Swords were established in 1202, also known as the Knights of the Swords Livonia Brotherhood. The Swords of the Swords is a Knights in the Baltic region. It is not large in size and its members are basically Germans.
In the second half of the twelfth century, the crusaders arrived on the Baltic Sea coast and tried to conquer the new land with sharp swords. At the same time, the Germans and Catholic missionaries arrived on the Baltic Sea coast.
1 In 1202, Bishop Alibert of Riga organized the knights along the Baltic Sea and formed the Knights of the Swords according to several famous knights established in Jerusalem.
Historically, as an independent military organization, the Sword Knights existed for a short time. In the Battle of Sule in 1236, the Sword Knights, which were all fighting, suffered heavy damage and almost destroyed the entire army!
In this battle, the Lithuanians and Samojihians killed most of the Knights. The members of the Knights who survived were incorporated into the famous Teutonic Knights the following year.
The Knights of Swords were renamed the Knights of Livonia and became an independent branch of the Teutonic Knights in the Baltic Sea until the beginning of the 20th century, and disappeared with the demise of the Russian Empire.
If you know the Knights of the Swords, then you will know that the shield-shaped badge of the Knights of the Swords is composed of a cross and a knight sword, with the cross on top and the sword below.
After hearing this, many onlookers at the scene realized that Ye Tian had just asked everyone to observe the purpose of the knight sword and the cross on the hilt!
Look at this time, isn’t that cross and knight sword combined together are the symbols of the Knights of the Swords?
After a moment of pause, Ye Tian continued to say:
"After the Teutonic Knights were incorporated into the Teutonic Knights and renamed the Livonian Knights, the original Sword Knights no longer existed, and their unique shield-shaped badges could no longer be used.
Because it existed for a short time, only thirty-five years, there were very few items left by the Knights of the Swords, and each one was a valuable antique artifact, including this Knight Sword.
Let’s take a look at this knight sword. The shape also has some characteristics of the Viking sword, such as casting technology, patterns, and engraved characters, all with obvious Baltic style.
In the Middle Ages, only knights on the Baltic Sea coast used this sword, and the cross on the hilt of the sword was about to emerge. This is the sword used by the knights of the Knights!
More importantly, these capital letters at the root of the sword body, two vs and one w, are the abbreviations of Walkerwin von Wintersteinten, the second leader of the Sword Knights.
Before the Knights of the Swords were destroyed, there were only two major commanders, Walkerwin von Wintersteinten's term was 1208-1236, until he died on the battlefield and died in the Battle of Suller.
The knight sword in my hand is Walkerwin's sword. I don't know how it has been passed down to this day, but I have to say that it is a miracle to see this knight sword today!
These gaps in the blade mean that it comes from the battlefield. God knows how many people have died under this sword. When Walkerwin died in the battlefield, he might be the knight sword in his hand!
This is my identification of this knight sword. Let’s talk about the value of this knight sword. Because it is extremely special and rare, I value this knight sword for 6 million euros, which is only low or not!”
After the words came to an end, the scene was immediately infuriated.
Everyone was completely shocked by Ye Tian's conclusion of this identification and the valuation of 6 million euros, and they all exclaimed.
Chapter completed!
