Antique Vietnamese Swords and Weapons

[TheMHandDSfan]

The Kiem just means sword in veitnamese, from what my mom told me at least. I thought it meant needle at first :D but going off of needle they were much thinner and had a thinner tip for peircing.....that is the sword seen in @2:17 the sword is pretty damn cool.

@TheMHandDSfan needle in Vietnamese is "kim" and sword is "kiếm". In English, it may be pronounced as the same ^^"

What's the name of this song? It's awesome!

[hungnq1989]

@ohAlanho "Return to Vietnam", composing by Kitaro, is the name of this song. This song was used in Heaven & Earth (1993 film)

Are they in a Museum in Vietnam? Which one, because I don't remember them, thanks

[hungnq1989]

@VovinaMilano I collected them in various sources, the first and the second pictures are taken at Quang Trung Museum in Bình Định province (I got it from wikipedia), some of them I found in the Internet, and some of them from Primitive Weapon exhibited room of Vietnamese Military Museum.

@RazokVN : that model is wrong scale, the Tây Sơn battleship is quite large and carry 64 cannon.
